Types of motorcycles

Sport Bikes

Sport bikes or supersport motorcycles, are designed for high performance and speed. They have powerful engines, lightweight frames, and aggressive riding positions, making them more likely to be involved in accidents due to their increased acceleration, higher speeds, and the potential for inexperienced riders to overestimate their abilities.

Cruisers

Cruisers are characterized by their laid-back riding positions, low seat heights, and large engines. Factors such as limited maneuverability, a higher center of gravity, and sometimes reduced braking performance can contribute to accidents.

Touring Bikes

Touring motorcycles are designed for long-distance travel and often come with additional features such as large fairings, saddlebags, and comfortable seating. The larger size and weight of touring bikes can make them more challenging to handle, particularly in tight or congested traffic situations.

Mopeds and scooters

Mopeds and scooters are popular choices for urban commuting due to their smaller size, fuel efficiency, and ease of maneuverability. However, they are often involved in collisions due to their low visibility, especially in heavy traffic.

Off-road motorcycles

Off-road motorcycles, such as dirt bikes and motocross bikes, are designed for use in off-road environments. While collisions on off-road motorcycles may not be as common on public roads, they can occur during off-road events or when riders attempt to use them in inappropriate settings.
