Motorcycle
From time to time, Lara likes to drive a Motorcycle. We saw her doing so in the first Tomb Raider.
In The Last Revelation she even drives it in-game for the first time. She spots the Motorcycle with Sidecar in Alexandria for the first time, however she cannot reach it. Not until the level City of the Dead.
In Tomb Raider Legend Lara spends a lot of time on her own or on stolen Ducatis, even in-game.
In the Movies Lara will also drive a Motorbike. In the first she takes her own across the Tower Bridge and through her garage. In the second movie Lara drives a borrowed motorbike cross country through China, and even across the Chinese Wall.
The bike she drives in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is supposed to be a custom made Norton Streetfighter.
Kurtis Trent, a character from The Angel of Darkness, also likes motorcycles.
Tomb Raider Underworld
In Tomb Raider Underworld, Lara uses another motorcycle that can handle almost any terrain. It was first seen in the first gameplay trailer, sliding to a halt near a pit of spikes. In the newest gameplay video from Moscow, you can see Lara driving it around in-game. In another trailer Lara is riding her motorcycle in Valhalla and she runs over an enemy. Take alook at Underworld Zombies for more detail.

Ingame-Tours
First time ever, that we get to see Lara driving a blue motorcycle is in Tomb Raider (and in Tomb Raider: Anniversary ), whilst she's chasing after Natla, and her henchmen. Lara peels out over rugged terrain, of the Egyptian Desert as she reaches ever so closely to her goal. Spotting the white Limo, she finds them in a yacht, drifting away to the nearest island. She continues forward, eying her way just before taking off. Speeding, her head lowers, and her legs lift onto the seat; standing. Lara jumps the ramp and hops off the bike just feet behind the yacht. Swimming to the other side, whilst Kold and Kid observe the other end, seeing what the noise was from. Lara sneaks on board and into the storage space below, sleeping.
We finally get a chance to drive a motorbike ingame is in The Last Revelation, where she finds a Motorcyle with Sidecar.
The next time Lara does so is in Tomb Raider Legend. There are two longer tours through Peru and Kazakhstan where Lara has to chase after the baddies with a Ducati Motorcycle. She also drives a bike is on the roofs of Tokyo where she finds a Ducati Superbike 999.
