Design Elements
Sport motorcycles come with unique features you won’t necessarily find on other motorcycles. Every aspect is designed to create an efficient, fast riding experience. For example, the riding position you’ll adopt is forward-leaning, with the legs and arms pulled in toward the body, kind of like a crouching position. This makes the bike more aerodynamic because the wind won’t be hitting your body as hard.
They also come with powerful engines that allow you to hit top speeds. This is also aided by a lightweight chassis, which means the bike won’t bog itself down. When it comes to controlling all that power, you can get high-performance brake pads and disc brakes with multi-piston calipers. The tires are wider to give you more contact with the road and make it easier to take sharp turns. Fairings are also more aerodynamic, and allow the wind to slide around you. There’s virtually no aspect that isn’t built for efficiency, power, and speed.
Types of Sport Motorcycles
Sport motorcycles are broken down into subcategories to help you find a model that’s right for you. Depending on your skill levels and what kind of riding you’ll be doing, this can be a big help in making the search faster.
Lightweight
The smallest of the sport motorcycles are in the lightweight category. These come with engines of up to 500cc and are often called the entry-level model. However, their lightweight frame relative to their engine power can actually make these models incredibly efficient.
Middleweight
Middleweight bikes fall into a 500-800cc range and are more common among average commuters. They’re great for tackling traffic and adding a little bit of thrill to your daily commute.
Superbike
This brings us to the superbike. Built for racing, with engine capacities of 1000cc or more, these bikes almost speak for themselves. They’re the bikes used at the racetrack to get ahead of the competition.
