There are a lot of differences between Black and modern day Kamen Rider, so much so that its a bit hard to believe its the same show, but the motorcycle thing has to be the weirdest difference.

It was a Showa era series, they all used the bikes a lot more. Black, as far as I know, is the only one where the bikes got their own theme song, though:

Ex-Aid is goddamn fantastic. For my money it's the best Rider series since W.

Black still has my favorite first episode of any Rider series. I love how it just starts in media res with Kotaro running through the streets of Tokyo at night, pursued by the Gorgom priests.
