Hardy-Daytona

Hardy-Daytona

The Hardy-Daytona is a motorcycle in Final Fantasy VII. Cloud Strife rides the motorcycle during the party's escape from the Shinra Headquarters. This scene leads into a minigame which leads into a minigame in which Cloud must ride the motorcycle behind a pick-up truck carrying the other party members, while Cloud uses the Buster Sword to attack pursuing Shinra troops. This minigame can later be replayed at the Gold Saucer, where GP and a Speed Source are rewarded for a high enough score.

Unlike later motorcycles in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, the Hardy-Daytona is virtually identical to real-world designs, with visible wheel-guards, headlight, and exhaust pipes. The model is known as the Hardy-Daytona, referring to motorcycle manufacturing company Harley-Davidson and the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, where notable motorcycle racing events such as the Daytona 200 are held. The engine design is copied from the first generation of the Yamaha V-Max.
