All Time Vehicle For All Roads
Written by sports blogger on August 13, 2009 – 7:36 pm -A motorcycle is two wheeled motor vehicle that is powered. Motorcycles fall under three categories. They are the street bikes, the off-road motorcycles and the dual purpose motorcycles. Street bikes are the ones that are found on the roads used for transportation. There are again different types of street bikes such as mopeds, sport bikes, cruisers and scooters. The off-road motorcycles are those that are designed for the purpose of motor racing. These are legally not permitted to transport people. The dual purpose motorcycles are used both for motor racing and transportation.
Scooters are smaller in size as compared to the street bikes. They are designed for relatively smooth and even terrain. But scooters have undergone substantial modifications and redesigning. There are now tougher scooters, some of them with engine displacement of more than 250cc. There is the motor-scooter as well as the maxi-scooter now on the roads. The newer scooters are redesigned to take on touch road and driving conditions unlike the earlier models.
There are indeed quite a number of grounds why motorcycles have become a preferred mode of transport. They are better than other vehicles when it comes to fuel efficiency. When fuel prices are on the rise and are expected to continue this trend, motorcycles become more attractive. The lower weight of the scooter makes them more fuel efficient than other types of motorcycles. Scooters have been modified to improve its navigation on the roads, safety and power. Kent Scooter is more like a street bike. Unlike traditional scooters, it is manufactured with solid steel.
Traffic congestion and traffic jams have become part of the normal traffic hazards of most cities. Navigating through the roads and maneuvering through the traffic is a nightmare. Motorcycles with its easy maneuverability weaving through the vehicles make them ideal for congested roads. Motorcycle also requires less space to park. This is a boon at a time when parking space itself is limited and is difficult to find. The parking fees are becoming prohibitively costly. In some places, motorcycles have to pay very less parking fees or they are exempted. In many cities that charge such fees as congestion charge when entering certain areas, motorcycles are exempted from the payment of such fees. Motorcyclists have to pay lesser toll charges in highways and river crossings. The road and motor vehicle taxes that motorcyclists have to pay are lower than those prescribed for other vehicles.
