The Cycles: International Grand Prix Racing is a motorcycle racing simulation game developed and published by Accolade in 1989. The game is part of the wave of realistic racing simulators that emerged during the late 1980s. Players compete in Grand Prix-style motorcycle races on circuits modeled after real-world tracks.
Zero Magazine Issue 03 (1990) - "The Cycles gives you the chance to drive some of the fastest bikes available, around all the great circuits of the world against some extremely stiff opposition. Choose one of five skill levels and whether you want to just be timed, take part in a single race or a whole championship circuit of 15 races. Cycles is incredibly addictive and the attention to detail is impressive. The background changes for each track while the graphics are particularly realistic in EGA. The only let down is the tinny sound, but as you need to listen to the revs for gear changing, you can't really turn it off. Still, even this is not enough to spoil one of the best motorcycle sims to date."
