How many cc's does it have to be to be considered a motor cycle and not motor bike or scooter?

I was in India for 10 days in March 2014. Heros were the popular bike. If you had money, then it was the Royal Enfield Bullet.

Hi wiredgeorge,

Re: Based on unit sales worldwide.

I found this same info earlier today. I also found that Honda sold 10 million in 2004 ( the only year I could find info on ) and Harley-Davidson sold ( in 2004 ) 330,000. In the past 8 yrs, BRP has sold 100,000.

Sort of tells you who the gorilla in the corner of the room is.

While you folks are trying to figure out engine size and such... I'm trying to figure out this new math. '5 top motorcycles' let's see, 1, 2, 3, 4... Am I missing something? (If I knew how to put emoticons with tapatalk I would put a rofl.)

Hi Bob,

Re: I'm already the happiest!

Remember that thread that I started: It's H*** Getting Old and some of your comments about that lovely, young thing that I saw that morning?

Now, do you think you might just be able to be happier?

PS) And just so no one misunderstands, my Spyder is the most fun I have ever had with a motorcycle. But, there is always tomorrow. :thumbup:

No...
nojoke

But I WILL admit that there can be some pretty major "distractions" lurking... :shocked:

 

[Orange Spyder Man]

I'll bet if you just consider only U.S. sales in motorcycles... those figures would change considerably...

I haven't been able to find a break-down by manufacturer or brand, but total sales of motorcycles in the United States for last year was almost 484,000 units.
