_____________________________________________________________ CLASSIC

I'd been wondering about this in regards to bicycles lately. Exactly how does one define a "classic" bike? In other words, what seperates the classic from the rest of the bikes? Age? Beauty?One of the reasons I've been wondering this is I have a couple of friends who are into classic cars and they drag me (willingly) to various events, usually in the back seat of one of their classic automobiles. Perhaps not surprisingly, I've found them a good source of advice on older bikes as well-- not necessarily which models are best, but certain repair and appearance tips.

Year: 1919

Location: Europe

Engine N.: 80 M 146

Colour: Red

Introduced in 1916 the Indian Powerplus was and is powered by a 62 ci (1000cc) side valve V-twin. A successful design which remained in production with few changes for the following 8 years and was also used as the basis for a number of racing bikes of the time ridden by such greats Erwin "Cannon Ball" Baker [USA] & Tazio Nuvolari [ITA].This roadster is complete and original and is in concourse condition following a full restoration completed in 2001. Available now in France with a French historical vehicle registration (CGC).

_____________________________________________________________ DIRT

Some motorcycles are designed to be ridden on rough terrain. They are known as Dirt Bikes or trail bikes. Dirt bikes will typically have suspension with more travel than a street bike, higher ground clearance, and a small (less than 500cc) engine. Related to dirt bikes are dual-sport bikes which are street-legal versions of dirt bikes with more suspension travel than a standard bike but having all the other equipment usually found on street bikes.

Engine Type 649cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke

King of Baja. That's all any desert-riding enthusiast ever has to know about the XR650R, multi-time champ of, without a doubt, the toughest tests of man and machine this side of the Paris-Dakar. Potent power, supple handling, nasty-terrain-swallowing suspension, bulletproof ruggedness—the XR's got it all in spades. Looking for the toughest off-road bike on the market? Then look no further than the King.

_____________________________________________________________ QUAD/ATV

The term "All-Terrain Vehicle" or ATV is used in a general sense to describe any of a number of small open motorized buggies and tricycles designed for off-roaduse. However, the American National Standarts Istitute defines an ATV as a vehicle that travels on low pressure tires, with a seat that is straddled by the operator, and with handlebars for steering control. By the current ANSI definition, it is intended for use by a single operator, although a change to include 2-seaters (in tandem) is under consideration. The rider sits on and operates these vehicles like a motorcycle, but the extra wheels give more stability at slow speeds. Although typically equipped with three or four wheels, six-wheel models exist for specialized applications. Engine sizes of ATVs currently for sale in the United States (as of 2007) range from 50cc to 800cc.
