TYPES OF MOTORBIKES

CRUISER

The cruiser, also knowned as a chopper, was designed for cruising, which is suitable for everyday use and compute due to its comfortability. It has a lower seat height and a leaned back riding position with mid-range handlebars. It usually contains small front fairing or none. Harley-Davidson is one of the popular brands where people will think of when they heard a cruiser or a chopper bike. They are more about looking and sounding good at low speeds than getting from A to B as fast as possible and getting your knee down in the corners. The plentiful low down torque also allows a more relaxed approached to gear changes. The bike is good for all-skill levels.

STREET

The street bike is an all-purpose functional bike, from touring to commuting. Hence, making the street bike a versatile bike. They have a relax riding position which is good for day-to-day riding due to its upright neutral riding position with low to mid-range handlebars. They have an average seat height and usually contains small front fairing or none. It is a great choice for new riders and all-skill levels.

DIRT

Dirt bikes, also known as Off-road bikes, allow for passage in to muddy and rough terrains.

SPORT

The sport genre of motorcycles are meant for speed and agility. They are best for track riding or for racing purposes.

They are equipped with complete fairing with a shorter windscreen to maximize aerodynamics. However, they have a forward riding position with low-range handlebars that will be uncomfortable over long period of riding. Hence, it is not really an ideal bike for day-to-day commute. This bike is suitable for riders that have intermediate or advance skills due to the speed.

SCOOTER
