A motorcycle, more commonly known in spanish by a abbreviation of the moto, or as well often called a motorbike or bike is a two-wheeled vehicle is powered by a gasoline internal combustion engine that powers the rear wheel, in rare exceptions in which the impulse would be given in the front wheel or in both, most best than 50 cm³ if it is internal combustion and with the greater construction's max velocity than top speed of 160 km/h (100 mph) or top speed of 299 km/h (186 mph). Motorcycle design varies greatly to suit a range of different purposes: long-distance travel, commuting, cruising, sport including racing, and off-road riding. Motorcycling is riding a motorcycle and related social activity such as joining a motorcycle club and attending motorcycle rallies The frame or chassis and the wheels constitute the fundamental structure of the vehicle. The steering wheel is the front one. They can transport up to two people, and three if they are equipped with a sidecar.

Motorcycle construction is the engineering, manufacturing, and assembly of components and systems for a motorcycle which results in the performance, cost, and aesthetics desired by the designer. With some exceptions, a construction of all the modern mass-produced motorcycles has can be done on a steel or aluminium frame, telescopic forks holding the front wheel, and disc brakes. Some other body parts, designed for either aesthetic or performance reasons may be added. A petrol-powered engine typically consisting of between one and four cylinders (and less commonly, up to eight cylinders) coupled to a manual five- or six-speed sequential transmission drives the swingarm-mounted rear wheel by a chain, driveshaft, or belt. The repair can be done using a Motorcycle lift.

MV Agusta advertised their 2007 F4 R 312 as capable of 312 km/h (194 mph), hence the "312" in the name, "because MV sees no reason to abide by the manufacturers' agreement ... Politics be damned: MV is Italian and the Italians have a national imperative to make their bikes as fast as possible," in the opinion of motoring journalist Roland Brown.[11][12] Italian magazine Motociclismo claimed to have achieved 193.24 mph (310.99 km/h) testing the F4 R 312, more or less confirming the claimed speed and tying, if not exceeding, the 1999 Suzuki Hayabusa's tested speeds of 188–194 mph (303–312 km/h),[13] whereas Sport Rider were only able to achieve a 185.4 mph (298.4 km/h) top speed, stating that "it would take a major horsepower boost in order to make up the 8 mph deficit".[53]

Cycle World reported that "the same bike brand BMW motorrad who instigated the 'agreement' in the first place" had broken it with the 188-mile-per-hour (303 km/h) the two german race-equipped sport bike BMW S1000RR, whose top speed was reported in July, 2010.[17]

The 2013 Ducati 1199 Panigale R was delivered with an electronic speedometer that blanked when the motorcycle xceeded 186 mph (300 km/h), leading commentators to question if Ducati was signaling their withdrawal from the gentlemen's agreement

The highest motorcycle of year 2019 with top speed of 160 km/h (100 mph)

All white GSX-R600 is the tallest street-legal motorcycle that it runs with a top speed of 290 km/h (180 mph).

All the motorcycles is designed for being ridden on paved roads. They have smooth tires with a light tread pattern and engines generally in the 125 cc (7.6 cu in) and over range. Typically, all the motorcycles are capable of max velocity up to 120 km/h (75 mph) to 140 km/h (87 mph) to 160 km/h (100 mph), and a many of two velocity in excess of 180 km/h (112 mph) and 201 km/h (125 mph). all the motorcycles is powered by electric engines and gasoline engines are becoming more common, with firms like Harley-Davidson entering the market.

It is normally powered by a two or four stroke gasoline engine (2T and 4T), although lately the two strokes are being reserved for smaller displacements due to environmental reasons. Formerly air cooling was the most normal, today liquid cooling with which it competes has taken an extraordinary boom.

There is a large demand for the small motorcycle, the very cheap motorcycles in the developing world, and many of the firms meeting that demand now also compete in mature markets, such as China's Hongdou which makes a version of Honda's venerable CG125.

In the 21st century, the motorcycle industry is mainly dominated by the Indian motorcycle industry and by Japanese motorcycle companies. In addition to the large capacity motorcycles, there is a large market in smaller capacity (less than 300 cc) motorcycles, mostly concentrated in Asian and African countries and produced in China and India. A Japanese example is the 1958 Honda Super Cub, which went on to become the biggest selling vehicle of all time, with its 60 millionth unit produced in April 2008. Today, this area is dominated by mostly Indian companies with Hero MotoCorp emerging as the world's largest manufacturer of two wheelers. Its Hero Splendor model has sold more than 8.5 million to date. Other major producers are Bajaj and TVS Motors.

The 1885 Daimler Reitwagen made by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in Germany was the first internal combustion, petroleum-fueled motorcycle. In 1894, Hildebrand & Wolfmüller became the first series production motorcycle.

In 2014, the three top motorcycle producers globally by volume were Honda (28%), Yamaha (17%) (both from Japan), and Hero MotoCorp (India). In developing countries, motorcycles are considered utilitarian due to lower prices and greater fuel economy. Of all the motorcycles in the world, 58% are in the Asia-Pacific and Southern and Eastern Asia regions, excluding car-centric Japan.

According to the US Department of Transportation, the number of fatalities per vehicle mile traveled was 37 times higher for motorcycles than for cars.

BMW S1000RR expensive motorcycle is the superbike who had recently a top speed of 303 km/h 188 mph.

Professionally it is a branch of industrial design, similar to automotive design using identical techniques and methodology, but confined by a set of conventions about what is acceptable to the buying public. These conventions have been defined by the acceptance of the industry and media as a whole to the assumption that the public will only purchase machines that bear more than a passing resemblance to competition machines of whatever kind. In some large OEM motorcycle manufacturers, the term designer can also be applied to the project leader or chief engineer charged with laying down the principal architecture of the vehicle. In recent years it has also become associated with custom or "chopper" builder culture.

All the motorcycles speed record is the maximum velocity is that achieved by a motorcycle on the ground. It is standardized as speed on a fixed-length run, averaged over two runs in opposite directions. the some very modified motorcycles, other than the some faster production motorcycles, are used to beat this record.

Motorcycling is riding a motorcycle. For some people, motorcycling may be the only affordable form of individual motorized transportation, and small-displacement motorcycles are the most common motor vehicle in the most populous countries, including India, China and Indonesia.

In developing countries, motorcycles are overwhelmingly utilitarian due to lower prices and greater fuel economy. Of all motorcycles, 58% are in the Asia Pacific and Southern and Eastern Asia regions, excluding car-centric Japan.

Motorcycles are mainly a luxury good in developed nations, where they are used mostly for recreation, as a lifestyle accessory or a symbol of personal identity. Beyond being a mode of motor transportation or sport, motorcycling has become a subculture and lifestyle. Although mainly a solo activity, motorcycling can be social and motorcyclists tend to have a sense of community with each other.

Statistically, there is a large difference between the car-dominated developed nations, and the more populous developing countries where cars are less common than motorcycles. In developed nations, motorcycles are frequently owned in addition to a car, and thus used primarily for recreation or when traffic density means a motorcycle confers travel time or parking advantages as a mode of transport.

In the developing world a motorcycle is more likely to be the primary mode of transport for its owner, and often the owner's family as well. It is not uncommon for riders to transport multiple passengers or large goods aboard the small motorcycles, the taller motorcycles and the scooters simply because there is no better alternative. Cost of ownership considerations regarding maintenance and parts, especially in remote areas, often place cars beyond the reach of families who find motorcycles comparatively affordable. The simplicity demanded of motorcycles used in the developing world, coupled with the high volume of sales possible makes them a profitable and appealing product for major manufacturers, who go to substantial lengths to attract and retain market share.

There is no universal system for classifying all types of motorcycles. There are strict classification systems enforced by competitive motorcycle sanctioning bodies, or legal definitions of a motorcycle established by certain legal jurisdictions for motorcycle registration, emissions, road traffic safety rules or motorcyclist licensing. There are also informal classifications or nicknames used by manufacturers, riders, and the motorcycling media. Some experts do not recognize sub-types, like naked bike, that "purport to be classified" outside the six usual classes, because they fit within one of the main types and are recognizable only by cosmetic changes. All the motorcycles include vintage motorcycles, standard bikes, sportbikes, superbikes, cruisers, scooters and mopeds, and many other types
