Items Hella Fast Motorcycle: Earlyish Hardmode mount.

[TheGuideIsEvil]

1 Motorcycle Gas Tank (sold by the Mechanic at the start of Hardmode for 25 gold; it has a Light Red rarity)
10 Adamantite / Titanium Bar
7 Hellstone Bar
20 Souls of Fright
20 Souls of Light

The Hella Fast Motorcycle is a mid-mechanical bosses mount that that allows for extremely fast travel. It also deals good summon damage and enables the piercing through targets as you ride it around. It is one of the fastest mounts in the game.

The Hella Fast Motorcycle deals 55 summon damage, and travels fast. However, its incredibly fast speed, albeit good for evasion techniques, makes quick changes in direction a bit hard to maneuver. Caution should be had with this mount. Jumping is alright with this mount, but it obviously can’t fly. Extra jumps apply, though.

It travels at 81 mph.

It has a Pink rarity.

Tooltip: The ladies love you from a distance because you’re too fast

i feel like it should be upgradeable with hell stuff to make a ghost rider type thing not necessarily as a reference but it would be cool

The name made me think it was an Underworld-themed mount, but I do like it
How fast is the mount and could you use extra-jump accessories with it? Based on the way you described it kinda sounds like a "Hardmode" version of the Golf Cart, which is already pretty good

you say it'd be one of the fastest mounts, but never mentioned a concrete value, so what would its actual speed be?

just for comparison:

• player walkspeed: ~15 mph
• what i call the "average mount speed": 41 mph
• broom: 46 mph
• wooden minecart: 51 mph
• standard minecart: 66 mph
• pre-nerf flying ship: 81 mph
• mech/upgraded minecart: 102 mph (fastest possible consistent horizontal speed)
• vertical falling with portal gun: 179 mph

personally i think the 81 mph that was previously occupied by the flying ship could be a good choice, your bike's in a similar area in progression, but being a land mount it could be more balanced if it had such speed

New update: It uses Hellstone bars, as the souls still make it mid mechs

then it should have the flamey wheels and trail maybe have the trail stick around for a few seconds and be able to do damage

you could perhaps upgrade it with Spectre Bars ?

A mount you can get this early that travels at 81 MPH all the time is not a good idea. Did we learn nothing from the pre-nerf Black Spot? Even being ground-based just means you need to make a bridge before using it.

yep

It should accelerate 0-60 in 5 seconds (for comparison, jump up with EOL wings + slime mount = 0-60 in 0.5 seconds)
