Are you in the market for a new motorcycle? There are many different types available. What type of riding do you do? How much do you want to spend? Do you ride daily or only on the weekends? These are just some of the questions you need to ask yourself. In today's motorcycle market there's a bike to fit just about everyone.

Sport bikes -

Pound for pound sport bikes are some of the most powerful vehicles legally permitted on public streets. They are a step away from full-fledged race bikes and with a few adjustments are easily able to run at the track. Because sport bikes are built for speed they usually are enveloped in an aerodynamic fiberglass mold that covers the engine and allows air to flow freely around it. Some of the features of a sport bike include: high tech design and materials, high performance parts to include the engine, suspension and brakes, a "tucked" riding position, clip on handle bars, and stiff suspensions. Sport bikes are not built for long distance riding.

Cruisers -

Cruisers are probably the most popular segment of motorcycles. When you think cruiser think comfort. They're built for long distance riding. They usually have motors that possess lots of low-end torque. Cruisers are usually heavy. They're easy to ride but they don't have the cornering clearance or ability of a sport bike. They're comfortable and usually have room for two.

Touring Bikes -

Touring bikes are also called dressers or full dressers. Touring bikes, like cruisers are built to go long distances but the difference is how cruisers get there. Touring bikes give their riders and passengers amenities that are usually found in luxury cars like plush rides and quiet engines. Cruisers offer large fairings, which provide excellent wind protection and help prevent fatigue. Their seats are large and comfortable and provide back support. Like cars some touring bikes have airbags. They have radios, CD's and MP-3 players as well as trip and navigation computers. Their suspensions adjust to provide the optimum ride and to top it off they can tow a trailer.

Standards -

a standard is a jack-of-all-trades motorcycle. It isn't built for one specific task but can perform many. Standards are usually good commuter bikes. They usually offer some wind protection, and are powerful enough to be fun on country roads. They can usually haul a small load or a passenger and sometimes both. Most bikes in this category have up-right riding positions, and friendly ergonomics.

Dual Sport -

Dual sport motorcycles are the adventurer's bikes. They're at home on the highway and the trail. They usually have large mirrors and gauges and a large gas tank. Their tires are designed both for the street and the dirt. They're built to withstand the rigors of off road riding and are very dependable.

As you can see the motorcycle industry offers many different types of motorcycles. It's up to you to decide which one fits you and your riding style.
