3rd Gen Mach Bike or Acro Bike?

Just wondering, which bike did you prefer playing with and why?

Me, I was always a fan of the mach bike... The acro bike may be able to do wheelies and bunny hops, but it was just too slow for my liking. The mach bike was much better for me, especially because I breed Pokemon a lot, so I have to hatch lots of eggs... Plus, the feeling of being able to make it through cycling road with no collisions is really satisfying!

I personally preferred using Mach Bike, as it was much faster. xD" I did trade it in every now and then for Acro, just so I could perform tricks and such.

I just got my bike in ruby and took the mach just because i prefer the speed:D

I prefer to use the mach bike wile breeding and such but i use the acro wile doing normal travel. It makes it more interesting. hop hop hop hop...

I like the Mach bike more that the Acro bike

Deffs Mach Bike. The Acro Bike was cool, it had these Wheelies and stuff but it just felt like what most people said, slow. I want to zip through my journey with ease, which is why I prefer travelling with the Mach Bike

I don't need speed for my bike in Hoenn, what I need is the Acro bike. Cool tricks can even get you to unaccessable areas like the Mach bike does, but I also like handling and not speed.

For casuality I use the Acro bike more often than necessary but for real game, I use the mach bike for everything.

Mach, Mach, Mach.
The speed saves me a lot of time, especially when I'm breeding.
The Acro bike takes me to the North East section of the Safari Zone, despite this I still prefer the Mach bike.

Also, I can finish the game within 2 hours in an emulator, only if I get the Mach bike early.

Since Im normally playing sped up, I like the acro bike. However, Ill use the Mach bike here and there when it's needed.

I like the Mach Bike best but it's a bit difficult to control. The Acro Bike is too slow for my taste and the stunts didn't impress me.

The thing I found really annoying in the Hoenn games and I rarely see mentioned as a flaw is the need to fly to Mauville to swap bikes. This was a horrible mechanic IMO. Luckily they fixed it in the Sinnoh games by adding the gear option instead of two different bikes.

I would definietly prefer the acro bike as it is waaay easier to control than the mach bike even though it is slower plus the added tricks are a bonus

What's the fun in finishing a video game in a extremely fast time? o_O

I preferred the Acro as with the Mach bike I would just crash into everything ;-;.

I preferd the Mach Bike over the Acro because it was the only way to get to Rayquaza.

I love the acro bike! Even tho the mach bike was faster... I value cool tricks over speed :P

Acro Bike. I loved doing the tricks and I always made it a point to make my secret base somewhere where the Acro Bike was required. XD

While I really liked the cool features of the Acro Bike, it wasn't really useful for anything other than getting certain items. The Mach Bike on the other hand, was way superior, simply due to how much faster travel became with it. It was easy to lose control over it though, and it'd usually take some time for me to master it for the Sky Pillar. I really liked riding down the Cycling Road with the Mach Bike though, and try to see if I could beat my own high-score, and I think it was a really neat feature :p I kept bumping into the darn bikers though >:[
