Motorcycle Info
A motorcycle is a two-wheeled vehicle powered by an engine. Motorcycles
are one of the cheapest and most widespread forms of
motorised transport in many parts of the world.
On a typical motorcycle, the operator sits astride the
vehicle on a seat, with the hands on a set of handlebars
and the feet supported by footpegs. When the bike is
at rest, the rider puts one or both feet on the ground.
Engine speed is controlled by twisting the throttle
on the right handlebar grip with braking being controlled
with a hand lever and foot pedal. Shifting of gear ratios
is controlled by operating a foot lever with the clutch
being operated by a hand lever. Steering is accomplished
by leaning the bike or moving the handlebars.
