People who don't ride tend to call bikes or motorcycles, motorbikes. It just sounds so.wrong!

its like mum and mom,motorcycle is american spelling,motorbike is not,but we seemed to have adopted the american word lately,i have a few brochures and posters from the 70s and motobike was the word generally used here,so are you young or an immigrant

It's not an American term. When I lived in the UK we all called them either bikes or motorcycles. It doesn't matter so much except it sounds unusual to hear them called motorbikes.

Skippy. Go down and see luke at "name just lost me for a second" down on subway road, 2nd down on lefthand side off manukau rd (pukekohe) - ask him how much. tell him Vince said give ya a discount :)

Hey skippy, prob be cheaper if you strip the tank yourself. You could also prep the side panels. This saves on labour. Did my bits recently used leftover paint from another job that saved more. Got my mate Gary at TRANSFORM ardmore airfield to paint it for a favour he does a lovely job. Motorbike mate, always was.

I say scoot or scooter even though it points towards a particular cheap 2 wheeled mode of transport. eg: "Jump on'ya scoot mate lets hit the road for the day"
