What do you think, when you see a motorcycle? Is it a superbike or a chopper?! There are much more types of motorcycles. Here you will see photos and very short introductions of them...

Motorcycle variety:

SUPERBIKE - Very powerful motorcycle, which can reach his top speed (~300km/h) in a very short time. Spoilers, sport seat, double brakes say that this moto is a superbike. More superbikes: Suzuki GSX-R, Yamaha R1, Ducati 1098.

TOURING MOTORCYCLE - Powerful, high capacity engine, huge gas tank makes this motorcycle go as many kilos as possible. Comfortable seats, huge weight, a lot of cases, huge windshield - the main aspects of that kind of motorcycle. Popular models: BMW K1200LT, Yamaha FJR1300AE.

ENDURO - Lightweight motorcycle with dirt tyres means that this motorcycle is enduro. Word "enduro" means "endurance", so you can gues that this motorcycle can stand very bad conditions (dirt, halls, rocks). Long seat, huge buffers, offroad tyres, well, looks like a enduro. More enduro: KTM EXC 525, Yamaha XT600.

CRUISERS - Heavy? Chromed? Huge noise? - It's a cruiser. It has many coincidences with touring motorcycles, but he almost (or at all) has not cases.
Main models: Suzuki Intruder, Kawasaki Vulcan, Harley-Davidson models.

STREET MOTORCYCLES - Looks like a superbike, but the main difference is rpm. Street motorcycles can't reach a huge (300km/h) speed, but they are more comfortable, easy controlling and universality. Street motorcycles: Suzuki GS500, Honda CBR500, Yamaha XJ600.

CLASSICAL MOTORCYCLES - Looks like an old motorcycle. Yes, they look like I said. But there are some of the new classical motorcycles. Old style seats, tyres, spoked wheels can say you that this is classical motorcycle. Other models: Ducati GT1000, Triumph Bonneville.

CHOPPERS - Specific look, big rear tyre. Looks like a cruiser? Maybe...But it can be chopper too. Name chopper means "chop". It's a simple cruiser with no unnecessary parts. More chrome, more colors, high handlebar, very uncomfortable seats - chopper.

ATV - Well, if you saw ATV once - you will never forget that. 4 wheels, comfortable seat, looks like a tractor: all these words say, that you see ATV. Just like an enduro motorcycles, they can stand difficult conditions too. More ATVs: Honda TRX400EX, KTM 450SX, Suzuki King Quad 700.

THERE IS NO ENDING? - Yes! Why? Because there are a lot of different motorcycles. Some of them consists of a several motorcycles. For example: enduro with street motorcycle wheels, Cruiser with sport motorcycle tyres and so on.
