The motorcycle itself is nothing more than the military version of a fairly respectable off-road bike.  The only thing that makes this vehicle truly impressive is its optional sidecar, a 7.62mm minigun capable of laying waist to all that lay before it.  Unfortunately the weapon has no tracking ability other than slight elevation.  While this hasn't stopped many militaries from picking up small numbers of these vehicles, no military has made a significant purpose.  The bike sans minigun however is a popular seller in both the military and civilian market.  (Without minigun the bike sells for 6,900eb and is available to the public.)

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: military radio, puncture proof tires.

ARMAMENT: 7.62mm minigun (6D6+2  shots: 500 ROF: 50).

Recently the German Military has been experimenting with a new concept in fast attack vehicles.  This new vehicle is ridden like a motorcycle, yet it only has one wheel.  State of the art lightwieght materials, and computer aided perfect balance make this machine the most manuever wheeled vehicle on the planet.  The vehicle is lightly armored, and since all the weight is focused on one point, the bike can achieve  very impressive speed and acceleration.  This bike was top secret until it was unveiled last year during the German armies expedition into the middleeast wasteland, proving itself as the perfect scout and recon vehicle.  A stripped down training version also exists, the training version is sold to the public, although slaes so far have been low.

(Operation of this vehicle requires special training, it also requires you have a motorcycle skill of at least 5.)

This is high performance motorcycle built specifically for use on paved surfaces.  Its top speed ensures its ability to catch anything on the road, and its high maneuverability makes escape simple.  The .50BMG cannon packs enough of a punch to deal with most threats, and it can be removed at the touch of a button.  While the operation status is very specific, the militaries and corporations of the civilized world have realized that there is a definite place for this bike in the escort and intercept roles for which it was designed.  An unarmed civilian version of the bullet is available for 15,000eb.

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: military radio, satellite uplink, GPS,  puncture proof tires, armored front bumper.

ARMAMENT: removable .50BMG cannon (6D10 shots:20 rof 1).
