There are also many systems for classifying, describing how the motorcycles are put in use, or according to the designer's intent, or some combination of the two. Generally are accepted six main categories of motorcycles: cruiser, sport, touring, standard, dual-purpose, and dirt bike.

First you sit on your bike you should concentrate on proper body position. Your feet should be able to touch the ground if you have chosen the right bike size. You need to sit forward on your seed, which affects to all aspects of your riding, especially turns. If you sit too back, the shock compresses more than the forks, which will cause the front of the bike to feel very vague in turns. The front wheel will run a very wide arc and will not have good traction.

Now you should concentrate on technique rather than speed. If you have the right technique, the speed will come naturally and you'll be safer. You should know that most of your riding should be done in the standing position.

- For easy access and control of your foot levers, foot pegs should be in the middle of your feet.

- With slightly bent knees, grip the bike near the bottom of the tank.

- Keep your back slightly arched with your bum towards the rear, arms up, and elbows forward, with your head over the handle bars.

- As much as possible try to keep one or two fingers on the clutch and brake levers.

Be aware that your body position changes when you are riding in the sand or mud. In this case your weight should be to the back of the bike. This will give you greater traction; you will prevent the front wheel from bogging and prevent your self from throwing over the bars. You need to be hard on the gas, to keep the bike gliding over the sand.

With more practice the enjoyment will increase!
