Motorbikes do not despawn when both tires are removed, provided the main vehicle body remains non-ruined. This allows stripped motorbikes to remain in the world indefinitely, bypassing the normal ruined-vehicle cleanup cycle (approximately every six hours).

The issue is compounded by the fact that motorbike tires do not independently spawn as ordinary world loot; they are currently found on functioning motorbikes. Consequently, restoring a stripped motorbike requires taking tires from another working motorbike, making reassembly counterproductive.

Over time, this results in motorbikes accumulating across official servers in a stripped, effectively abandoned state without ever being recycled back into the vehicle economy. This gradually reduces the availability of functioning motorbikes and prevents replacement vehicles from spawning.

Locate a functioning motorbike.

Remove both tires while leaving the main vehicle body intact.

Leave the motorbike behind and log out or move away.

Allow the normal six-hour ruined-item cleanup cycle to pass.

Return and observe that the motorbike remains in the world despite missing both tires.

Repeat with multiple motorbikes to observe how stripped vehicles accumulate without entering the normal despawn and respawn cycle.

Motorbikes missing both tires should eventually be recognized as abandoned, non-functional vehicles and enter the normal server cleanup cycle, allowing them to despawn and be replaced through the vehicle economy.

Alternatively, motorbike tires should spawn independently as world loot, allowing players to restore stripped vehicles without having to cannibalize another functioning motorbike.

The vehicle economy should prevent permanently stranded motorbikes from accumulating across official servers and reducing the availability of functioning vehicles.
