Standard / Traditional

Design : The design is simple with uncluttered lines. The bikes have small or inexistent fairings that leave their engine usually exposed which makes tipping-over less costly. Foot pegs are below the rider and handlebars are high, enough not to force the rider to reach far forward, placing the shoulders above the hips in a natural comfortable position. The handling varies greatly with bike's size, but normally they are easy to handle in most situations.

Brake and suspension : Brakes are usually very good. Many of the newer models have ABS and some even have combined ABS. Meaning that while you sudden brake, ABS will use both wheels. Suspension travel is usually medium, meaning off road capability is limited, but they are comfortable enough for most streets. More and more models have now adjustable suspensions to suit different ridding styles.

Engine : > This come in various types and sizes. The small motorcycles can have one cylinder, while the big ones can have 4 v cylinders. However the majority will have either V twin engine for more relaxed bikes or 4 in line engine for sportier ones.

Ideal Ride : The ideal ride is basically anywhere from crowded cities to highway to racetrack.
