Anyway, on the topic of the bikes, correct me if I'm wrong here, as I've only seen two Neo-Heisei shows so far, but I also think that part of the problem(which I guess you could say is an extension of the merchandise cycle thing), is that bikes don't get upgrades anymore.

Like, the reason the bikes are part of the finishers for Ryuki and Wing Knight are because Survive Mode explicitly upgrades them, and while Kuuga never rode his bike in Ultimate Form, not only was it another way for Kuuga to be unique at the time, but he did still ride it when TryChaser got upgraded into BeatChaser when he was in almost all his other forms beforehand.

It helped, but it was hardly like Agito, Blade or Den-O eventually abandoned their bikes just because they didn't get cool new toys. It's really just to do with modern rider having a LOT of cool new toys to sell at any one time, and who cares about the stuff in Wave 1
