How to Get the Motorcycle
The Motorcycle becomes available automatically during the early story, but there are two different unlock methods depending on your progress:
Method 1: Complete Noah’s Timeline Shift Decision Quest (Recommended)
After defeating Franz the Dejected Assailant during Noah’s Timeline Shift Decision quest, return to the present era and head to Magmell Island Bridge near the Water Treatment Plant (southwest of Magmell Institute). A cutscene triggers, and boom—you’re now a proud motorcycle owner!
Method 2: Alternative Route via Magmell Island Pier
If you haven’t completed Noah’s quest yet, simply travel to Magmell Island Pier in the present timeline. Talk to the ferryman to unlock access to Sunken City, and you’ll receive the Motorcycle through a cutscene here instead.
Either way, you’ll have your wheels within the first few hours of gameplay. Check out our Timeline Shift Decision guide for more quest details.

Pro Tips for Motorcycle Mastery
1. Abuse the Auto-Repair Feature
Your Motorcycle has its own health bar and can be destroyed by collisions or obstacles. The good news? It automatically repairs itself after a few seconds without damage. Even better—you can instantly resummon it even when destroyed. No fuel, no spare parts, no maintenance required!
2. Master the Drift
Hold R2 (console) or S (PC) while turning left or right to execute sharp drifts. This is absolutely essential for navigating areas with tight corners, winding roads, or sudden obstacles. Smooth drifting maintains your momentum and looks incredibly cool.
3. Jump Over Obstacles
Don’t slow down for abandoned cars, small debris, or building rubble. Instead, hit the jump button (Spacebar/A/X) to leap over obstacles without losing speed. Maintaining momentum is key to efficient exploration across Code Vein 2’s expansive world.
4. Run Over Enemies
Here’s a dirty secret: you can plow straight through normal mobs with your Motorcycle. They take minor damage and often get knocked down, letting you skip fights entirely if you’re racing toward an objective. Perfect for speed farming or story progression.
5. Companions Ride Along
When traveling with buddies like Lou, they’ll either hop on the back of your Motorcycle or summon their own to ride alongside you. This creates epic cinematic moments as you cruise through the wasteland together—just like the dynamic duo you are!
Motorcycle Limitations to Know
While incredibly useful, the Motorcycle has one critical restriction: you cannot use it inside dungeons. It’s exclusively for open-world exploration areas like highways, urban ruins, and open fields. Once you enter confined dungeon spaces, you’re back to good old-fashioned running.
According to Bandai Namco, the Motorcycle Forma represents the blend of Code Vein 2’s gothic aesthetic and futuristic setting, designed by an actual motorcycle enthusiast to feel authentic despite being a supernatural spell.
FAQs
Does the Motorcycle use fuel or break down permanently?
Nope! The Motorcycle Forma is a magical spell tied to your Revenant abilities—not a conventional vehicle. It requires zero fuel, no spare parts, and never permanently breaks. If destroyed by damage, it auto-repairs after a few seconds or can be instantly resummoned. It’s sustained entirely by your supernatural energy, making it the ultimate worry-free transportation.
Can I customize or upgrade my Motorcycle?
Currently, there’s no customization system for the Motorcycle’s appearance or performance stats. It comes in a fixed gothic design featuring gold, black, and silver colors that match the Revenant aesthetic. However, its handling is dynamic and responsive right out of the gate, offering smooth controls for weaving through debris and navigating uneven terrain without needing upgrades.
