Online motorbike games have become extremely popular in recent times with the Internet becoming increasingly accessible to people across the world. The main advantage with online motorbike games is that you can play most of them for free and on almost any system. It's not necessary for you to have the latest gaming desktop or a particular gaming console for enjoying these games. Online motorbike games are mostly Flash-based and can be played within any modern browser supporting Flash. These games provide the player instant gratification which is why online motorbike games are so popular.

There are many different types of online motorbike games. However, the most common type is usually made up of several tracks, increasing in difficulty, which you have to race through. A majority of the online motorbike games are progressive in nature and don't have save features. Hence, you need to start from the beginning each time you play these games.

Apart from the circuit racing type of games, you also find the rally type of games which involve long rides through roads while you compete against opponents. This style is, of course, not that common in online motorbike games due to the inherent problems of creating these games. They take considerable time to develop, not to mention the large file sizes these games tend to required. Online games need to be rather small so they can load fast on a browser.

Another form of online motorbike games that is very popular is dirt biking. Dirt biking, similar to other online motorbike games, is modeled after real life biking. The distinctiveness of this type of motorbike game is the terrain on which you have to ride the bike. The course is composed of very uneven terrain and loose dirt. The bikes that these games feature are also markedly different. The bikes have a leaner, lighter body and are equipped with high impact capacity shock absorbers. All of this heavily influences the physics involved in these games - the manner in which the bikes move and respond to maneuvers. It's usually quite challenging and at the same time fun to play dirt biking games.

Stunt biking is again modeled on real life biking. Stunt biking games involve the player carrying out different complex maneuvers or stunts for earning points. Sometimes, stunt biking games are combined with other elements of creating unique tracks on which you are required to perform stunts in order to move.

In stunt biking, you also get games mimicking real life motorbike extreme sports. Usually, in these games, there's no track or just a short specially designed track. The main objective here is to execute breathtaking stunts for scoring points. The scoring is comparable to its real life counterparts. These games challenge you to carry out specific moves for earning points - and the tougher they get, the more points you score.

Because of its popularity, many flash game developing companies are making Motorbike themed games. The relative simplicity of the gaming engine makes these games relatively easy to make, while its popularity makes the investment of developing them exceedingly worthwhile. Do expect to keep seeing Motorbike games in the near future.
