MOTORCYCLE Meaning and
Definition
-
A motorcycle refers to a two-wheeled vehicle that is powered by an engine or motor. It is designed for one or two riders, although some models may accommodate more. Motorcycles are commonly known for their ability to provide swift and efficient transportation on roads and highways.
Typically, a motorcycle is characterized by its lightweight construction, smaller size, and sleek design. It is equipped with a variety of components, including a combustion engine, fuel tank, seating, wheels, handlebars for steering, suspension, brakes, and transmission. The engine of a motorcycle can vary in power and size, ranging from small engines used in economical commuter bikes to larger and more powerful engines found in sport or touring motorcycles.
Motorcycles are commonly categorized into different types based on their intended use or design. This includes sport bikes, designed for high-speed performance; cruisers, emphasizing comfort and leisurely riding; touring bikes, which provide comfort for long-distance travel; off-road motorcycles, engineered for rough terrains and dirt tracks; and scooters, featuring a step-through frame and a platform for foot placement.
Motorcycles have been a favored mode of transportation due to their maneuverability, fuel efficiency, and affordability. They offer riders the freedom of the open road and are often associated with adventure and thrill-seeking. However, it is important for riders to prioritize safety by wearing appropriate protective gear, following traffic laws, and practicing defensive driving techniques.

Etymology of MOTORCYCLE
The word "motorcycle" combines two root words: "motor" and "cycle".
The word "motor" derives from the Latin word "mōtor", which means "mover" or "someone/something that imparts motion". It initially referred to an agent or device that produces mechanical power to generate motion.
The word "cycle" comes from the Greek word "kuklos", which means "circle" or "wheel". It was commonly used to describe anything that moves in a circular or wheel-like manner.
The term "motorcycle" was first used in the late 19th century to describe a type of self-propelled bicycle with a motorized engine. The combination of "motor" and "cycle" accurately described this new invention, emphasizing its reliance on both mechanical power and its two wheels. Over time, "motorcycle" became the established term for this mode of transportation.
