I think the point is though - and I'm not taking sides - the bike is part of Kamen Rider, it defines what Kamen Rider is. Yes modern Riders dont use their bikes much but the kick, the belt, the bike, the powers drawn from evil to defeat that evil these are all things that sum up every season of Rider without having to specify a name, this might sound like a bad thing but it's a recognised brand like the Nike tick.

If Rider starts using Wrist Changers and Cars then no matter how artificial the change, and shallow as it may sound to some, that isn't Rider to me - it's just a generic toku series.
