Specially designed Matz Matsuzawa Honda XL125 achieved 470 mpg-US (0.50 L/100 km, 560-mpg imp) "on real highways - in real terms."

Operating range and maximum Speed suffers because of limitations of battery technology. [Edit] Fuel cells and petroleum-electric hybrids are also under development to increase the range and performance of electric motors.

Racing motorcycles leaning in order. Main article: Rent a bike and dynamics
Different types of motorcycles have different dynamics and these play a role in how a motorcycle performs in given conditions. For example, longer wheelbase provides more stability in a straight line [31]. Motorcycle tires have a great influence on the handling.
Motorcycles must leaned to the opposite direction. The lean is induced by a method known as countersteering in which the rider steers the handlebars in the opposite direction, desired rotation. Since it is counter-intuitive, this procedure is often very confusing to novices-and even many experienced motorcyclists [32].
Short wheelbase motorcycles, such as sport bikes, can generate enough torque to the rear wheels, and enough power to stop the front wheel to lift the opposite wheel off the pavement. Such actions, if done on purpose, are known as wheelies and stoppies respectively. If done around the recovery point resulting upset is known as "jumping" of the vehicle.

In many cultures, motorcycles are primary means of motorized transport. According to the Taiwanese government, for example, "the number of cars for ten thousand moves around 2500, and the number of motorcycles is about 5000th "[33] In places like Vietnam, motorcycle use is very high due to the lack of public transport and low income level, which gave the cars away for many. [3] In Vietnam automobile traffic are mostly motor [4]. the four largest motorcycle market in the world, all in Asia: China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam [3]. motorcycle is also popular in the border cities of Brazil. [5] In the middle of a global economic downturn in 2008, the motorcycle market grew by 6.5% [34].
In recent years there has been an increase in motorcycle popularity elsewhere. In the U.S., registration increased by 51% between 2000 and 2005. [35] This is attributed particularly rising fuel prices and urban congestion, [36], but is also partly due to television programs such as reality show American Chopper, or adventure-travel shows such as Long Way Down.
