The Scorpion can be used effectively on some of the tracks of you have good flow.
Newer players would probably do better with the Phoenix though. Sometimes I, like Picklez, hop on the Micro for kicks. It makes it more challenging to get things right.
i use the donkey sometimes for a laugh
Normally I use the Scorpion on anything medium or below. But you can actually use it on pretty much every hard and a quite a few of the Extremes. I like beating my friends on a Scorpion in Extreme when they have the Phoenix.

I use the donkey if the lobby is noobish. Otherwise I know which bike to use on which track
You only have to remember a few medium tracks so it is not that hard.
I use the donkey almost everytime! MP is too easy right now

the phoenix is better on a lot of the easier tracks in sp anyway, but on multiplayer its even more useful.
i use the phoenix on most easy and meds online. scorpion is better where the track is either flat out all the way (rollercoaster) or when you keep full momentum throughout the track, which on single player is great.
but on multiplayer, chances are you might not get that perfect run. and if you do lose your momentum, your much better off with the phoenix and its better accelaration. it also gives you a jump off the line and is for more maneuverable if you need to save yourself from a fault.
point being, just because the top time on a track is set with the scorpion doesnt mean that it is the better choice for multiplayer
Someone please tell me the "right" bike to use so that I ride something else out of spite.
The Phoenix is good for anything with lots of stopping points, or places you tend to bounce. The Scorpion can easily kick its *** if you have flow throughout, though. It's all about the acceleration.
The right bikes are all of them but the Rattler.Originally Posted by Skysaw
