The picture shows the Kawasaki Ninja 636 a model of the sportbikes family.
Today, I will be talking about the sportbikes.
Sport Bikes
If the laid back, easy riding cruisers are not your style, then a super fast sport bike maybe what you’re looking for. Sports bikes were designed for one thing, to go fast! When sports bikes first started off, they were not able to beat a fairly tuned Harley in a straight line but once the road got a little windy, it was a different story. These bikes were able to be driven at their limits day in and day out with no worry about breaking down. As sport bikes progressed they became faster and more agile. Now they can both out-run and out-maneuver any other type of bike on the road. They are best suited for riders who like speed and are not afraid to push their bikes to their limits.
Next up will more on what the students are working on for their D&T lessons in school...

The image above shows the Yamaha V-Max which is a type of crusier.
Today, I will be introducing more about one of the types of motorcycles that is the crusiers.
Cruisers
These bikes are more commonly referred to as "American Bikes" due to the different style these motorcycles have. Their style came from people getting bored by the looks of their regular Harley's. They began creating choppers or custom bikes. They would make these machines look the way they do by taking out all the extra accessories that did not help the bike be lighter or go faster. All you ended up with was two wheels, a seat, frame, and a gas tank. These bikes began to symbolize the outlaw biker phenomenon. But by taking all of the extra accessories, this made some of the bikes very difficult or even impossible to maneuver.
These bikes continued to be custom works of arts until the early 1970's when manufacturers started producing factory choppers of their own. These bikes were not as popular with the public as a custom chopper since anyone could just go out and buy them. They rode allot better than homemade choppers but did not look the same. Not until Willie G Davidson introduced the Low Rider in 1977 did the public start to love factory produced choppers. This and the Wide Glide of 1980 can still be found in parts on choppers and cruisers of today.
I will be introducing about the sportbikes.

The motorcycle shown above is the Honda CBR600F4i.
Today I will be roughly introducing to all of you the types of motorcycles.
The Types of Motorcycles
Back when motorcycles first started, they were designed to be used on several different platforms. With little adjustments to the suspension or engine you could turn your regular street cruiser to an off-road bike. This was back in the olden days. Nowadays they build bikes for ever single purpose you may have. There are the crusiers, off-road motorcycles and the sportbikes.
In the next post, I will be elaborating more about each type of motorcycles.
