Bikes: A motorcycle (also called a motorbike, bike, or cycle) is a single-track, two-wheeled motor vehicle. Motorcycles vary significantly depending on the duty for which they are intended, such as long distance tour, navigating congested urban traffic, cruising, sport and racing, or off-road situation.

There are approximately 200 million motorcycles (including mopeds, motor scooters, motorised bicycles, and other powered two and three-wheelers) in use universal, or about 33 motorcycles per 1000 people.

Most of the motorcycles, 58%, are in the developing countries of Asia — Southern and Eastern Asia, and the Asia Pacific countries, exclusive of Japan — while 33% of the cars (195 million) are intense in the United States and Japan. In 2006 China had 54 million motorcycles in use and an yearly manufacture of 22 million units.
