Step into the high-octane world of professional motorcycle racing in 2005—a golden era defined by fierce rivalries and legendary talent. This is your chance to join the global elite and compete for glory, fame, and fortune. But the road to victory won’t be easy. You’ll face off against icons like Valentino Rossi, the undisputed world champion from Italy, along with other greats such as Spain’s Sete Gibernau and Japan’s Makoto Tamada. Do you have what it takes to defeat the best and claim the title?
The game offers two thrilling ways to play. In Arcade Mode, jump straight into the action with single races against 20 real-world riders across eight authentic tracks. For a deeper challenge, Season Mode puts you in the leathers of a professional racer. You can either choose an existing superstar and compete in a single season, or create your own custom rider and build a career across multiple seasons. Your performance in each race earns championship points—the better you finish, the more points you receive, shaping the end-of-season standings.
If you play as a custom rider, your results will determine your future. At the end of the season, your racing team may offer you a contract renewal—or you might attract offers from new teams looking to recruit rising talent.
Both modes offer plenty of customization to match your preferred style. Choose from three difficulty levels and set the number of laps per race. You can also fine-tune your bike’s performance across four key areas: trade top speed for quicker acceleration, or adjust handling and stability to suit each track. While these tweaks won’t make or break your race on their own, they let you tailor the bike to how you want to ride.
Whether you’re here for a quick race or a multi-season career, the podium awaits.
