Julius,

Although I have recently joined the ICR ranks, I used to play a pretty
good Grand Prix motorcycle game for the Mac.  I believe it is called
Cycles from Accolade, and it offers 125, 250, & 500 cc classes.  The
drawback is the game is in black & white and the sound isn't up to par
w/ what we are used to on the Macs.  But, it does offer some pretty
good racing entertainment w/ a view looking over the handlebars and
through the windscreen. Not to mention the graphics aren't too bad.  
This game is a couple of years old so maybe there's a newer release
out?  

Either way, if you're a racing fanatic, you'll dig the knee-dragging
action.  

I also saw a Formula 1 type game (named Ferrari, I think) for the Mac
offered in Mac Warehouse for $15.  This is another old B&W game which
I've seen for about $35 in the store in the past.  I think it is
closely related to the Cycles game.  None of these games though will
offer the realism of ICR simply due to ICR's range of set-up options
and resulting affect on driving.
