I had high hopes for this when we first saw pictures of it – I saw potential for another sentient bike like Battle Hopper since, you know, the show is called "Ghost", so I expected his bike to be a regular bike possessed by a dead horse.
But hey, Ghost was a complete disappointment in every other aspect to me, so why do something different with the bike? It was another soulless toy advertisement that disappeared halfway through the show. It's not any more different than usual, and the show is not at fault for not meeting my hopes and dreams since I should’ve known better, but I still can’t find anything likable about this bike. The horse head looks stupid, it has that ugly transparent plastic I already disliked on the Driver and the orange seat to match Ghost’s color-scheme? Nah, it’s not working for me. So yeah, the toy isn’t doing it for me either. It’s a solid accessory for the people who like Ghost but I can't even bring myself to buy bikes which I actually like, so I never gave this toy a closer look ever since it was revealed. |

Motif is pretty awesome. A bike detailed as a horse has been something I've been wanting to see. 'Bout time.
Shame that it's so bland. There should've been a lot more color to it, or more detailing to make it pop. This should be a design that makes you go "WOAH!" since it's so unique and interesting. I'm rather disappointed, in all honesty... What should've been the bike of my dreams ended up being worse than a Ride Shooter...At least those were creative.

Cool idea for a bike, totlly wasted in the show. I honestly didn't realise they had released it, so kudos for reminding me. It looks alright, but nothing special. Maybe with a different colour scheme, it would be savable.

I like his bike but he really didn't use it enough.

A horse themed bike? Ghost is trying to steal my ideas for a Rider series!
In all seriousness though, the bike is just okay. I'm not even sure I would have noticed it was a horse without looking closely.

I like the design, if only because it's a black unicorn, and that reminds me of a Voltaire song.
Shame he didn't use it more. |

The placement of the material that echoes the Ghost Driver is interesting given what they did with Kamen Rider Lazer. It makes me wonder if an early planning stage for the Ghost toys involved the ability for Eyecons to be inserted into the bike, imbuing it with Luminary abilities. Pure speculation, of course.
I actually like the design of this bike more than a little, but it suffers because it was rarely used by Takeru post-henshin. I mean even more rarely than most Rider bikes. I suppose this would be a partial consequence of having a Rider who can fly. But even the more interesting iguana and ghost ship forms were rarely-used, and hand-waved on the occasions when they were. Why did they never do anything with the interior of the ghost ship? The show could have imbued Captain Ghost and the iguana with story, but they didn't take advantage of the opportunity. Takeru inexplicably had a motorcycle echoing his Kamen Rider form, and didn't he have it before he actually became a Rider? The shot you have of them riding out of the explosion reminds me of how much I like these designs together. |

One of the few Rider series where that bike was only seen in the intro, three episodes, and nowhere else in the series.

I'm actually a big fan of the Ghostriker design, which makes it so disappointing that Ghost never 1. explained it 2. did anything interesting with it 3. used it. This thing disappeared very early into the show. Pretty unfortunate.
Wanted to get this one, and maybe I will at some point--I do think it looks good--but the show itself made it so hard to be interested... |
