Let us see the different segments of bikes.


Some combinations that are present in the market:

Street +Sport = ER6N,GSXF,CBF
Street + Off-road = KTM Duke 690, etc.
Street + Cruiser = Vmax, MT 01.
Super street or muscle bike = MT 01, Bking, Z1000, CB1300 etc.

I believe the first motorcycle in the world was a street bike. All others are its derivations. And many new categories are created by some manufacturers. As written above.

Here we see the riding triangle. It denotes the posture while riding.


The rake angle and turning radius makes a bike flickable. Larger is unstable. Sportsbikes cannot turn handle beyond certain limit because of the fairing.
Moreover, Superbike, Motocross and Supermoto are name of racing events from which the bikes get their names.
