Recon bike is a light vehicle used by Nod in Tiberian Dawn.

Background
Edit
A peculiar motorcycle with a frontal plexiglass cockpit.
Even though its a motorcycle, it has to use its back wheel to turn because the front wheel is fixed in place.
The Recon Bike was developed with the dual role of fast reconnaissance as well as light Anti Tank support to combat GDI's armored superiority, in both the Medium Tank and Mammoth Tank.
Successors
Edit
In the Second Tiberium War, Nod fielded a similar version entitled the Attack cycle.
In the 3rd Tiberium War, Nod adjusted the design from a Cruiser style to a Sport style, with the rider leaning forward over the gas tank, as well as replacing the twin rocket launchers with two low slung missile pods.
In the 4th Tiberium War, Nod reverted back to the old Cruiser design, along with upgraded rockets for their new Attack Bike .
In-game
Edit
The Recon bike is reasonably expensive, costing more than a Humvee or Nod Buggy. However, it is even less armored than either. It's advantages are it's Anti-Tank TOW Missiles, and it's high mobility. The Attack Bike's speed can be used to evade Tank (APDS) shells, artillery shells, rockets and missiles. Machine guns are notably less affected by the Recon Bike's fast speed.
