Bari Bari Densetsu is a motorbike racing game by Taito and is
based on a Japanese manga series published by Koudansha. It
features a young motorbike racer called Gun Koma and
offers different play modes. The player can either compete in a
World Grand Prix where each race is preceded by a qualification
phase. In this mode, Gun must qualify and be in the first seven to race.
A training option, called the Travel Mode, is available and
gives the player the opportunity to pick a track of his choice and
train on any of the sixteen races offered by the game.
The bikes can also be customized and tuned to handle new weather conditions
or different type of tracks. Many elements can be edited,
from tires to engine and brakes.

Bari Bari Densetsu is a Japanese manga published by Koudansha.
The original art-work was done by maga-ka Shigeno Shuichi, creator
of other mangas like Initial D. Two OVAs are also available and
were published in 1986. I recently read that Gun Koma,
the hero of Bari Bari Densetsu, can be unlocked in
Namco's game Moto GP for Sony's Playstation 2.

Racing is probably the video game genre that suffers the most from
technology advances. Every new game system sorts of reinvent the genre and
any racing game released before the 3D era is condemned to fall into obscurity.
Bari Bari Legend sadly falls into this category. Graphics and animation
are smooth and the game is very playable with highly responsive controls.
But it has aged, aged a lot, and lost most of its original appeal.
