If you're considering purchasing a bike, there are many different types of motorcycles to choose from, each with its own unique characteristics and advantages. In this buyer's guide, we'll explore the most common types of motorcycles and what makes each one special. Read on to learn more!

Sports Bikes

Sports bikes are known for their speed, agility, and aerodynamic design, which makes them perfect for racing and performance. They have powerful engines and are designed to give riders an exhilarating experience. Sports bikes are best suited for experienced riders and are available in the price range of $9,000 to $44,000.

Cruisers

Cruisers have a laid-back design with low seats and wide handlebars, which gives riders a relaxed and comfortable ride. They come in various styles, including the classic American cruiser, the chopper, and the touring cruiser. Cruisers usually cost in the $4,300 - $24,000 price range.

Touring Bikes

Touring bikes are designed for long-distance rides and come equipped with features that make them comfortable for riding for hours on end. They often have large, comfortable seats, spacious storage compartments, and windshields to protect the rider from wind and rain. Touring bikes are typically heavier and more cumbersome than other motorcycles, but they offer unmatched comfort and convenience for long rides. Price points for these bikes vary from $9,000 to $44,000.

Dual-Sport Motorcycles

Dual-sport bikes are designed for riders who want the best of both worlds – the ability to ride on the road and off-road. They are lightweight, nimble, and equipped with rugged tires that can handle rough terrain. Dual-sport bikes are perfect for riders who want to explore both paved and unpaved roads and are ideal for adventure touring. You can find a variety of models in the price range of $4,500 to $24,400.

Standard Bikes

Standard motorcycles are characterized by their upright riding positions, making them comfortable for daily commutes and long rides alike. These bikes typically have smaller engines than sports bikes, making them more fuel-efficient, but they still offer plenty of power and agility.
