You don't think ______ is going to be upset about their brand of bike in your game?

Also, the placement and size of the wheels on the bike are way off.

A lot of the bikes look like they are inspired & based losely on modern sports bikes. I don't see a problem with it but would like to see the models be a little more characatured, the Playstation game Jacked did quite a nice job of it.

I don't think someone would be upset. Have you ever played Cruisin USA? Obviously there is a Ferrari there but it's not labeled as one. Have you ever played the GTA Series? How many times you saw a car that looked like a model from a brand?

Even Eletronic Arts did that, back in time with their classic Road Rash games. Examples below:

1) Look at this black motorcycle in this screenshot: http://d1vr6n66ssr06c.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/road_rash_header.jpg

2) And this one: http://www.sega-16.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/292.gif

We read clearly that they mistyped on purpose but we understand that they wanted to say "Kawasaki" instead of it's fake name Kamakazi.

Hmm. You are right, now I got it.

Maybe you should report it to tech support?
Probably the artist will need to fix this texture and the wheels of the bike model.

Ahh yeah, good spot might want to keep this one quiet!

1) Don't forget that REAL bikes need licensing to use them.
2) It costs money. As this is an Indie game, every money spent needs to be spent wisely.

I prefer they spending money in fixing the game experience, adding replay value and fun factor instead of a luxory of PUTTING REAL motorcycles.
Damm, why care about the BRAND, does it really add something to the game that is worth?
Think about it. It's only cosmetic. In the end you are paying for just a SKIN instead of new worthy GAMEPLAY CONTENT that could make this game an icon of it's genre.
