It looks bad seriously :/
Bit curious about needing to "login between now and September 30th" for the Horde bike, whereas the Alliance one might be available indefinitely from a vendor. Like others have speculated, probably a sub number thing, but you'd think the Horde one would be available for at least as long as the Alliance bike. Yeah, they'll probably be on the same Paul Jr-homage vendor

The purpose of building both bikes as real bikes evades that of the pixel game..
There's a lot more to it than that.
Those bikes are consumer magnets for a variety of things. They even work for media events related to the upcoming movie.
Alliance vs Horde... So plentiful useful.
And in the end, I would not be surprised if they auction the real bikes off for charity reasons.
But to think how they've spent all that money just to have 2 pixel bikes, that's a bit naive

Quite simple...
The accounts getting auto flagged between now and Sept 30..... After that, no more flagging..
Chances are.. Horde bike too shows up at a vendor.
They will never have only 1 bike available in the game. They are both in.
The winner bike is just for free for those that are actually subscribed...
"The pen is mightier than the sword.. and considerably easier to write with."
I think it'll look something like this:
Sept 30th - Last day to "claim" free Horde bike
Oct 7th/14th - Systems patch 6.0, free Horde bikes awarded
Nov 18th/Dec 2nd - WoD launch
Holidays/January 2014 - Bike vendor added to the game. Perhaps around the same time Winter Veil starts on Dec 16th. Holiday spirit and all, an opportunity to give a close friend a mount (sold a lot of mounts/battle pets to people looking to give them to a significant other)

I think both bikes are quite ugly.
Both bikes are meh. I really hope they won't be more than like 10k gold or so - if they were the only bikes in-game, more than 10k would be ok but as it is WotLK bike look rather similar (if not better) so I don't really see the reason to price the new one(s) very high.
The alliance chopper is the real winner, it will be a rare and limited mount for the alliance only compared to the mount everyone will use for a few days playing horde.
I'm betting 20k. 30 if they feel like using a weird number.
Too bad Paul Sr. didn't work on the bikes. I'd say put him in the game as a Tuskarr.

the in game model cover pretty much what I did not like about the live version (it looked "too" shiny) if I'l get an alliance character I may pick it up
