Hero Worship: Robin's Redbird.

Wiki:

Created for the 1997 film Batman and Robin, the Redbird bike was a ground-up build, utilizing fiberglass and carbon fiber. The company TFX developed the motorcycle using a Honda dirt bike as a chassis. In the film the Redbird has two thrust nozzles, which allows the vehicle to leap short distances. There's a central computer on the tank that supplies additional information for the rider.

Batman has an override program capable of controlling the Redbird from the Batmobile. He uses it in order to shut the Redbird down when Robin tries to make a life-threatening jump between buildings.
