Many novices on motorcycles will be confused by a lot of nouns when they first come into contact with them. Some people recommend street bikes, saying that street bikes are comfortable. Someone recommends a sports car, so the sports car should be of sufficient type first. But apart from street cars and sports cars, the world of motorcycles is actually quite big. And between street cars and sports cars, are they completely opposed to each other? Actually not necessarily. Today, I will wait for Helmet King to introduce to you, a complete introduction to the types of motorcycles. After watching it, you will no longer be confused when you are blowing water with your riders!

Street bikes can be said to be the most basic and common type of stick-wave motorcycles. The advantage of street bikes is that the seat height is usually more affordable and the riding posture is comfortable. In order to make street bikes more convenient for daily riding, major brands usually set the torque peak value at a lower rpm, and then it will emerge. Based on the above advantages, street bikes can be said to be the first choice for commuting and daily access. Among street cars, some people divide street cars into retro street cars and sports street cars based on appearance and performance positioning. Retro street cars are relatively conservative in shape and have a classic charm, while sports street cars will outline the body lines in a more aggressive and aggressive style. Some brands will also launch cars for the two styles. For example, YAMAHA has two product lines: XSR (retro street car) and MT (sports street car). TRIUMPH, known for its retro street cars, will also launch sports street cars with powerful performance and aggressive appearance, such as Street Triple RS. If you want to see a more detailed introduction to retro street cars, you can refer to this article.

If a street car is a car designed for the street, then a sports car can be said to be a machine built entirely for the track. In order to fully squeeze the performance of the motorcycle, the power of the sports car engine usually only appears in the high-speed region. The advantage is that its power is amazing, and the horsepower-to-weight ratio of the motorcycle is extremely high. The rider can enjoy it at high speed. Pure speed and thrill. However, relatively, such characteristics also make sports cars inferior to daily street riding, because it is difficult to maintain high speeds on the street, and at low speeds, the torque and power of sports cars may be inferior to street cars. In addition, the seat height of purebred sports cars is generally higher, and the riding posture is not as comfortable as other types of cars. It is very easy to get tired after long-term riding. Therefore, for novices, purebred sports cars are not particularly suitable for entry-level car types. Common purebred sports cars on the market include YAMAHA R6, HONDA CBR600RR, etc. If you want to know more about the popular sports car models/car series on the market, please refer to this article.

Modern products pay attention to crossover, as do motorcycles, and street sports cars are the product of crossover. As mentioned above, street bikes are easy to ride, but many riders want to have the passionate appearance of a sports car. Therefore, major car manufacturers respond to market demand and launch sports cars that are more suitable for daily life regardless of seat height and power adjustment. Street sports car to ride. Common street sports cars on the market include YAMAHA R3, KAWASAKI Ninja 400, HONDA CBR500R, CBR650R, YAMAHA R7, etc. For more street sports cars, please refer to this article.

Station wagons are designed to allow riders to ride comfortably for long distances. Large goggles, comfortable seats, and riding posture settings, and sufficient storage space are all important elements of an ideal station wagon. The representative model in the station wagon industry can be said to be HONDA's Goldwing. In order to be able to easily carry out long-distance road trips, station wagons usually have a larger displacement. Like the station wagon mentioned earlier, Goldwing uses a 1800c.c. six-cylinder engine. In addition to the engine with a displacement comparable to that of a private car, in order to allow the rider to travel comfortably in all seasons, the station wagon will also introduce different comfort equipment, such as: heated handles, heated seats, cruise control system, etc., so that the rider in the front seat And passengers in the back seat can enjoy the fun of motorcycle travel.

Sports car is similar to street running, it is a product of crossover. Station wagons also have goggles, car shells and other components in appearance, but the seat and riding posture settings will be more similar to station wagons, which are relatively comfortable and usually have a certain amount of storage space ( side boxes, etc.). Another difference between a sports car and a sports car in appearance is that the layout of the purebred sports car will be quite compact for performance considerations such as flexibility and inclination. However, in order to consider the stability of cruising and the comfort of long-term driving, the body of a sports car is usually wider. Therefore, the saying "whatever has a shell is a sports car" is not entirely true.

Off-road vehicles, as the name suggests, are vehicles that exist for mountain crossings. The narrow and long body, single-cylinder engine, high seat height setting, and long-travel suspension are all characteristics of off-road vehicles. Off-road vehicles and supermotos are extremely similar in appearance. If you really want to distinguish them from their appearance, the main difference lies in the size of the front and rear wheel frames and the type of tires. The wheel frame of a purebred off-road vehicle must adopt a wheel frame with a large front and a small rear. The tire configuration of off-road vehicles is usually off-road tires with thicker tire blocks, while the tire configuration of skid bikes is usually more road-oriented. The two have similar appearances and also have off-road capabilities, but the fun of the two may be slightly different.

Multi-purpose vehicles can be said to be the most sought-after models in recent years. They can go up mountains, go down to the sea, and ride on ordinary roads for long distances. Because it can go up and down the mountain like an off-road vehicle, some riders will confuse the two. Generally speaking, off-road vehicles are very light in weight, but multi-purpose vehicles can easily weigh two hundred kilograms. The storage performance of a multi-purpose vehicle with a suitcase is not inferior to that of a station wagon, and it is quite sufficient in Hong Kong, where there are many small people. Therefore, in recent years, major car manufacturers have actively developed related models. In the past, the displacement of multi-purpose vehicles was relatively large, but in recent years, there are many models such as: KTM 250 Adventure, 390 Adventure, SUZUKI V-Strom DL 250, BMW G310 GS and other models to choose from. It is definitely a novice rider to join Motorcycles are a different choice besides ordinary streets and sports cars. It is also very suitable for riders of other types of cars to start a second car and experience a different knight life.

American cruiser, also known as the American locomotive. To mention American cruising cars, one has to count the most famous American motorcycle brand Harley-Daivdson (Harley). The classic Harley is also the choice sought after by many entertainment circles. Round lights, single seats, drop-shaped fuel tanks, long frames and low seats are all characteristics of American cruisers. Many riders think that only Harley has launched American motorcycles, but in fact, Indian is also a famous American motorcycle brand. Other depots, such as HONDA, also launch similar models, such as: HONDA Rebel, Magna, YAMAHA Bolt, etc., which can make it easier for novice riders to step into the world of American motorcycles.

The different types of bikes introduced above are mainly wave bikes, but I have not yet introduced automatic wave motorcycles (sheep/big sheep). The advantage of big sheep is that it is easy to operate and suitable for daily/novice riders, but some riders think that Its driving pleasure is lacking. If you want to know more about the difference between automatic wave and stick wave motorcycles, you can refer to this article.
