Motorcycles are iconic, stylish, and fun, but there are a lot of types on the market. We here at Moto United South Valley want to help you get the right one for your needs, so we’ve put together a brief examination of the types of motorcycles, below.

Standard

Also called naked bikes or roadsters, there are general-purpose street bikes built for short adventures and average commutes. They’re jacks of all trades and have a mid-placement sitting style. 

Cruisers

Cruisers are some of the more iconic bikes and most likely what you envision when you think about motorcycles. Choppers are a subcategory, but all cruisers have large-displacement engines, upright sitting positions, and low-end torque, and are known for power and style.

Sport

Sport bikes are built for speed and agility above all and have a forward-leaning sitting style. Whether you’re zooming around the racetrack or zipping down the freeway, sport bikes are guaranteed adrenaline, though at the cost of fuel efficiency.

Touring

For a comfortable ride you can handle for cross-country tours, a touring bike is the only choice. The upright sitting style and ample support keep you fresh while the storage space ensures you have the supplies you need. 

Dirt Bikes

Finally, dirt bikes are identified by their more plastic-y and flexible chassis and higher sitting position. They’re not meant for roads and actually need add-ons to be street-legal, but they can conquer any off-road trail you could dream of exploring.
