I think we'll be seeing motorcycles in GT5

[A2K78]

Why is that?

Clue #1

This NowGamer interview:

In this interview(page 2) Yamauchi-san spoke of wanting to revisit Tourist Trophy

Clue # 2

IGN SEMA interview:

Again the issue talk of motorcycles come up again.


Clue # 3

GT5's long development cycle:

Could GT5's notoriously long development cycle be attributed to possible inclusion of motorcycles?

Conclusion:

Looking back at the original TT the reception was somewhat lukewarm, so how to do you spread the motorcycle gospel to get more people interested in a sequel? Why not include motorcycles in the biggest racing game.

They point more to a TT2 than the inclusion into GT5.

 

[Strittan]

Including bikes in GT5 would be the biggest mistake ever made by PD... I hope and believe KY is smart enough not to mix these two.

However, I'd love if they made TT2!

They point more to a TT2 than the inclusion into GT5.

Indeed, it's better to just make a new Tourist Trophy, because it would be pretty hard to use a motorcycle with a wheel.

I think it is because GT5 is an all new and enormous game.

It would also make them more money.
