What does a liter bike mean?
2 Answers
A liter bike refers to a motorcycle with an engine displacement of over 1000cc, also known as a heavy motorcycle or superbike, commonly referred to as a racing motorcycle or sport bike. It particularly emphasizes the high-speed performance of the motorcycle. Riding such a motorcycle allows the rider to fully experience the thrill and enjoyment of the engine, tires, and changes in the road surface. Below is the classification information: 1. Entry-level motorcycles: Motorcycles with a displacement of 250 to 400cc are considered entry-level. 2. Mid-size motorcycles: Motorcycles with a displacement of 600 to 750cc are mid-size motorcycles. 3. Heavy motorcycles: Motorcycles with a displacement of over 1000cc are heavy motorcycles.
I've recently been researching large-displacement motorcycles, and liter bikes refer to those performance beasts with engine displacements around 1000cc. These machines have cylinder capacities approaching one liter, with classics like the Honda CBR1000RR and BMW S1000RR being prime examples. I've witnessed liter bikes launching on the track firsthand—the deep roar is absolutely spine-tingling, hitting 100 km/h in second gear is effortless, and professional riders can exceed 300 km/h on the circuit. However, beginners should really steer clear of these. Last time, a young guy tried his friend's bike and just a slight twist of the throttle caused an immediate wheelie and crash. Riding liter bikes not only requires full protective gear but also proper training at riding schools to practice crash recovery techniques first.
