This is just true. Imagine your Badass Longcoat is about to square off against a bunch of zombies. Is it better if he does this on foot or on a motorcycle?

Examples of Everything's Better with Motorcycles include:

Anime and Manga

Triage X - Preferred method of entrance for Arashi and Mikoto

Comics

Blade
Ghost Rider

Fanfic

Drunkard's Walk - the protagonist's Mitsubishi Nightblade (a turbine-powered superbike that he rebuilt in his visit to a Bubblegum Crisis world).

Literature

The Dreeson Incident Shows up though out the novel but most obvious with at the eponymous incident. Specifically, the incident involves Buster Beasley riding into a armed mob on a Harley. This combined with the Heroic Sacrifice he makes after dismounting lead to him attaining major in universe status as a Memetic Badass.
- Based on a real Wehrmacht unit!
  - These guys gave rise to a modern version of the Headless Horseman story, and one that itself fits this trope, because when La Résistance knew they were coming they'd string wire across the road.
- Also Mutt Williams' Indian in #4.
Harry Potter: This trope + Flying Car = Sirius Black's flying motorcycle.

Live-Action TV

Music

Meat Loaf employs the trope to great effect on his album covers if nothing else.

Tabletop Games

Warhammer 40,000 - Space Marines, Orks, & Eldar

Video Games

Shadow the Hedgehog - why else is he shown riding a motorcycle in all the trailers for his game?
Wario Ware: Mona

Web Comics

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja - Sparklelord and King Radical's dirtbike

Web Original

Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series: CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!

Western Animation

Biker Mice From Mars
In ReBoot Bob tried to invoke this by replacing his problematic car with a bike. It gets destroyed before he has a chance to use it.
- AndrAIa also has a thing for motorcycles (lampshaded by Enzo occasionally). Later in the series, she gets one of her own.
- By the time we get to the movies, even ~~Enzo~~ Matrix has one.
