The upcoming Ride video game will be available on March 20 for Xbox One, Xbox 360, Playstation3, Playstation4 and PC platforms, but those who decide to pre-order the motorcycle simulation game will receive two free downloadable packs adding Yamaha motorcycles to the game including the new 2015 YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M.

Ride will feature up to 100 real-world motorcycles, though it’s not yet clear how many will be available with purchase of the game and how many will be available for purchase as optional add-ons. The pre-order incentive includes two packs, the Yamaha 2015 Bike Models pack and the Yamaha Historical Bikes pack. For those who don’t pre-order the game before March 20 can buy either of the two packs for €3.99 each (subject to change, U.S. pricing to be determined).
