An Introduction To The World Of Two-Wheeled Vehicles

Purchasing your first motorcycle is a thrilling experience. Now that you've decided to explore the world on two wheels, you're stepping into an exciting new realm of transportation, travel, and sport. 

Motorcycles open up a world of opportunities. Every trip is an adventure when you're on a motorcycle. You can use a motorcycle suitable for daily commute. You can take your motorcycle on a cross-country adventure.
​
Choosing your first motorcycle is not easy if you're an absolute beginner. What kind of motorcycle do you want, how much do you want to spend, how heavy will it be, how fast will it go, and how easy will it be to fix? These are some factors you need to consider.

5 Most Common Types of Motorcycles

1. Sportbikes
   Most riders agree that sportbikes are the quickest motorcycles available. Sports bikes are designed for speed and performance. Most riders don't feel at ease when riding a sportbike unless they travel faster than 100 mph. Most sportbikes aren't built for long rides because of the discomfort experienced by the rider.
   
   
2. Street Motorcycles
   These bikes are cheap, easy to maintain, and rarely need service. Street bikes are good for beginners because they boost confidence and speed.
   
   
3. Cruiser
   Low seat height, torque-rich engine (usually V-twin), fat rear tire, lots of styles, and often full of chrome. Add saddlebags, a windshield, and a passenger backrest to a cruiser to make it a good touring bike. Light or medium-weight cruisers are easier to control at low speeds and have less power.
   
   
4. Scooters
   You might think, "Scooters don't belong on this list." Don't discount scooters too quickly; they're a valid subset of motorcycles and a common one. In addition to being one of the more fashionable forms of motorized transportation, scooters today also feature tons of cutting-edge technology, such as anti-lock brakes and fuel injection. 
   
   Because of their easy-to-use automatic transmissions, these bikes are also great for learners. A sleek and modern scooter might serve city dwellers who don't plan to cover many miles on their bikes.
   
   
5. Café racers
   These are unique motorcycles meant for city riding and short café trips. Café racer culture is about individualism, speed, rock 'n' roll, and pent-up energy through bike customization and stunts.
