Motorcycles On the Road
Everyday we are feasting our eyes on different types of
motorcycles - big, small, vintage, modern, classic and flashy.
Actually, there are three basic categories of street motorcycles
- touring, cruisers and sports bikes. However, modern design can
incorporate some of the qualities of the other category.
Nonetheless, let us stick with the basics and discuss them one
by one.
Touring motorcycles are so-named because of their equipments
that are primarily designed to withstand long rides. Riders will
feel comfortable even when on a protracted ride. Usually,
touring bikes have hard-shell trunks on either side of the
fender, windshields, full fairings, in-dash audio equipment
(sometimes include GPS) and a dashboard. They also have high
rounded back with armrest so that the riders will be at ease
while riding. Examples of this category are Harley-Davidson's
Road King and Honda's Gold Wing.
Cruisers and choppers on the other hand, are not that heavy as
compared to touring bikes. They are sleek, beautiful,
captivating and are closely related with the legendary cruisers
and customized choppers. In addition, they are somewhat
perceived as cool and trendy. Choppers use a frame with a front
fork extended and raked beyond the standard stock cruiser. As we
can observe choppers are hot once again. They are enjoying the
ongoing paranoia and hype. In fact, there are featured
customized cruisers and choppers that are gaining its media
exposure and
success.
If racing is your cup of tea, you will be highly delighted with
sports bikes which are also called café racers. Sports bikes
encourage a different sitting posture. The usual thing is that
rider's feet must be put in front, in a sport bike, it puts the
rider's feet underneath him. Thus, the rider's tendency is to
lean forward over the gas tank with the shoulders and the head
straight. This was specifically designed to make quick and
accurate turns. Sport bikes are great for nerve-racking riding
adventures. Nonetheless, they are not basically used for long
and steady trails. Examples of this category are Honda's
Interceptor, Yamaha's TMAX and Ducati's Supersport.
When it comes to off road motorcycles, they are primarily
designed to be tough and sturdy. Example of this kind is dirt
bikes which are designed to conquer rough, difficult and grimy
treks. They usually designed with tall frames and high tailpipes
so that they will not bottom out. These bikes do not have street
gear or license plates. To compensate this, they are given
yearly green stickers by the Department of Motor Vehicles for
the owners and riders alike to ride in off-road parks.
