Game History

The Fast and the Furious: Super Bikes is an arcade motorcycle racing game developed and published by Raw Thrills and released on June 21, 2006. It serves as the second game in Raw Thrills' Fast and the Furious arcade series and the first spin-off, shifting from cars to motorcycles. The game was a sequel to the original Fast and the Furious arcade game in 2004.

Super Bikes featured gameplay similar to the original Fast and the Furious arcade game but with players controlling motorcycles instead of cars, competing across nine different tracks. The game was released during a productive period for Raw Thrills, which also produced Big Buck Hunter Pro the same year.
