Yes, Excitebike World Rally has some motion control

You still move with the D-pad and accelerate with a button, but you can now tilt the Wiimote to lean your rider and "affect the pitch of your bike." "Jumping was always the trickiest part of Excitebike," 1UP's Jeremy Parish notes, "and the analog smoothness of the motion controls makes it intuitive -- it became second nature before the end of the first track."
We're curious enough about this sensible-sounding innovation that we'll delay throwing our controllers down in disgust. For now.

a childhood fantasy will come to life. i played excitebike on the nes and tilted the NES controller to see if it would work. This seems like a good use of motion controls that adds to the immersion and not just gimmick tagged on instead of a button press (waggle).

Excite Truck.
It was a launch title and it's still the best racing game on the Wii.
Excite Truck was awesome.
