Trivia[]
- Although the motorbike doesn't return in Tomb Raider II, there are renders which show Lara riding with it.
- A red dirt bike with number 7 can also be seen in the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider which might be an easteregg for the one that appeared in Tomb Raider #16.
- In 2018 Tomb Raider movie a motorcycle is hinted in behind the scenes videos, but no bike appeared in film.
- Although the bike Lara rides throughout Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a Ducati Monster, it´s logo does not appear, unlike in Legend where it is clearly visible. This is due to a sponsorship deal Ducati had with Crystal Dynamics for the development of Tomb Raider: Legend that did not continue into Tomb Raider: Anniversary.
