Let’s face it: the hellish traffic jam in the metro is making some motorists shift from driving cars to riding two-wheelers. In choosing motorcycles, you need to be pragmatic to perfectly suit not just your taste and preferences, but also its use and characteristics.
Before you get all too excited about getting your own motorcycle, we must define those that are sold in the market. Below is the list of bikes that are commonly seen on our roads.
Bike types
STREET BIKES
Known as standard or naked bikes, this type seats the rider in an upright riding position. Although engine sizes vary, street bikes are ideally suited for city streets and for someone who wants a daily commuter that they can have fun with on the weekend.
Perfect for:
Those who want pocket rockets but with a comfortable riding stance
Cons: Most street bikes don’t have a windshield to protect riders against harmful elements when going at high speeds.
CRUISER
This type of motorcycle is designed for those who have a laid back lifestyle. Cruisers usually have low seat heights to make it easy for you to hop on and off the saddle. This type of bike is often heavy due to its big engine. But despite the size, cruisers are typically down on torque, which means that they are not made for racing or performance riding. The rider usually has a reclining position when riding, and so basically, the bike is made for riding comfortably.
Perfect for:
Those who like them low and slow, and easier to ride
Cons: Some have “different ergonomics” that make them difficult to handle.
