Motorcycles are powerful, thrilling, efficient, and convenient ways to get around. They can even make commuting and running errands exciting! But these machines come in many shapes, sizes, and specialties, so it can be difficult to find the one that really meets your needs. We want to help you get the perfect ride, so we’ve put together some information on the different types of motorbikes and their main uses.

Cruisers

Cruiser motorcycles are probably what your mind goes to first when you think about motorcycles. They’re the middle-ground between touring and sports bikes and are built to cruise through city streets and down the highway. They’ve got good handling and acceleration.

Sports Bikes

If your priority is speed, agility, and raw power, sports bikes are the motorcycles for you. The sleek looks help improve their aerodynamics while also imparting a distinct style. Riders will sit in a forward-leaning position with their legs brought close to their bodies by the high foot pegs, which helps add to the aerodynamics and stabilizes the center of gravity.

Touring Motorcycles

Touring motorcycles are built for long-distance riding with the storage capacity, fuel efficiency, power, and comfort features needed to make every trip a breeze. Windshields help reduce wind fatigue, broader frames and tires improve stability, and better seating keeps riders comfortable and fresh no matter the journey.

Dirt Bikes

Of course, not everyone is content to stay on well-traveled roads. If you’re looking to explore the great outdoors and do a little trailblazing of your own, dirt bikes are the answer. Also called off-road motorcycles, these are slimmer, lighter, and less powerful than any street bike, but they’re better at navigating tight corners and rough terrain.
