On my old forum, people would constantly ask for the definitions of motorcycle terms used in typical motorcycle specifications found on the Internet and in motorcycle magazines. These were usually newbies but not always.
I decided to prepare a set of definitions that could be used by almost anyone to help decipher motorcycle specs.
These definitions of terms should be easier to understand by riders who would rather ride than learn the technical complexities of their machines. Bear in mind that whole books could be written about each term. We are only touching the basics.
Check out my Motorcycle Specifications - Definitions of Terms as contained on my Motorcycle Views Web site.
