What's this motorcycle arcade game called?

Think I played it sometime around 1996 (when I was about 10 years old) so I don't remember much from it. It was futuristic, with a setting a bit like Extreme G or Wipeout and you had melee weapons for attacking left or right. I'm pretty sure you sat down on a physical bike and tilted it left or right to steer.

Any ideas?

Motor Raid

Use Robin in campaign mode, she scores high for hit combos.

Wow, I need to find this someday:

I like the melee combat idea; less "line up behind them and blow them away" like in Extreme-G, and more like Mad Motor (by Mitchell) except not top-down and crap. :)

Sounds a bit like Road Rash from the description. God, they should remake it for Wii. You could wield the chain by spinning the remote around your head.

Wow, I had no idea. I never saw this or knew it existed.
Thanks for the heads up. Road rage vs f-Zero!

Robin reckons nobody can stop her, but she sounds pretty unconvinced by herself..

My local arcade has this game. It's nothing special imo.

If they remake *this* game (which, really, isn't very good at all) before they remake Planet Harriers, somebody DIES!

Have to admit this is quite apparently true...it's a racing game with a bash button. Also, it's very short and the scenery doesn't interest me much...

I think he was talking about Road Rash. Never understood why EA dropped the Road Rash series, considering their tendency to whore their series as much as they can.

Edit: I think I understand now: Because they were actually good games, unlike most of the stuff they do nowadays

Ah, good call. It sure seemed to me like he was referring to Motor Raid.

My kingdom for a decent Planet Harriers port. I mean, shoot...that might be a decent reason for me to purchase a new system. I doubt the PSP could handle it, and the PSP's the newest system I have.
