    Read the report 

    1.    Introduction

    The purpose of this report is to survey the different types of motorcycle,  the Key Considerations While Shopping it and to briefly discuss predicted advancements in the  field.

    The first series production motorcycle was produced by, Hildebrand & Wolfmüller In 1894 and  the first to be called a motorcycle. In 2014, the three top motorcycle producers globally by volume were Honda, Yamaha (both from Japan), and Hero MotoCorp (India).

    In developing countries, motorcycles are considered utilitarian due to lower prices and greater fuel economy. Of all the motorcycles in the world, 58% are in the Asia-Pacific and Southern and Eastern Asia regions, excluding car-centric Japan.

    According to the US Department of Transportation the number of fatalities per vehicle mile traveled was 37 times higher for motorcycles than for cars.

    2. Different Types of Motorcycles

    2.1 Standard

    Commonly referred to as “naked motorcycles,” these bikes are known for their upright riding position. Both handlebars and foot pegs are situated so that riders can maintain a comfortable position without having to reach too far forward. Their moderate-size engines and functional, user-friendly design make them a good option for new riders

    2.2 Cruiser

     Cruisers are modeled after large American machines from the 1930s to 1960s – the most popular being Harley-Davidsons. These bikes have a V-twin engine designed for low-end torque and offer a low riding position, high handlebars and forward foot pegs – causing riders to lean back slightly. This seating may not be ideal for beginners who are anticipating riding at higher speeds for long periods of time, since pulling back on the handlebars to battle wind can be tiring.

    2.3 Dual-sport

    Referred to as dual-purpose or on- and off-road motorcycles, dual-sport bikes have high seats and a high center of gravity to better handle rough ground. They’re similar to dirt bikes, except they feature mirrors and lights that make them legal to ride on public streets. Their small engines and lightweight frames make them a good choice for a new rider, as long as they can straddle the bike with both feet planted on the ground.

    2.4 Touring

    Designed for long-distance riding, touring motorcycles have large engines and bigger fuel tanks. They give riders a comfortable, upright seating position and more storage, but their size and higher cost may make them more suited for experienced riders.

    2.5 Sport bike

    Optimized for high speeds and acceleration, sport bikes have high-performance engines on a lightweight frame. They feature higher foot pegs and a longer reach to the handlebars, which is beneficial when riding into the wind at higher speeds. At lower speeds, sport bikes can be tiring because they put more weight on a rider’s hands and wrists.

    2.6 Sport touring

    Consider these bikes a hybrid between a sport and touring motorcycle. Compared to a sport bike, sport touring bikes have more storage, but are overall lighter in weight compared to a touring bike. They also offer a more relaxed seating position.

    Once you select the type of motorcycle that suits your needs, you also need to decide on the specs of your bike. Here are some things to keep in mind when you’re motorcycle shopping:
    3.       Key Considerations While Shopping

    3.1 Engine size

    Engines are measured in cubic centimeters or CCs, which refers to the volume inside the engine where air and fuel is combined to power the bike. Typically, a motorcycle with a higher number of CCs means a bigger engine, more power and faster speeds.

     3.2 Weight of bike

    The heavier the bike, the harder it is to operate. You need to be able to upright your bike if it gets knocked over.

    3.3 Height of seat

    While straddling the bike, make sure your feet can touch the ground when you stop. Also measure the length of your leg from the bottom of your foot to your groin. If the seat is higher than the measurement, the bike is most likely too tall for you.

     3.4 New vs. used

    A used motorcycle may be less expensive, but could cost more in repairs and maintenance in the long run. Check out the table below for more information that can help you choose between a new and used motorcycle.

    3.5 Motorcycle shipping options
    If you’re buying your bike long distance, one of your biggest decisions will be choosing how you want it shipped.

    Motorcycle carrier: these are specialized trucking companies that only ship motorcycles and will have the most experience handling bikes. They usually offer the best insurance coverage, as well.
    Auto transport companies: These firms ship vehicles either in open or closed trailers. An enclosed trailer will protect your motorcycle from the elements and has the lowest theft risk since your bike isn’t out in the open.

    Agents and carriers: Although some agents have their own fleet of trucks, many others will act like brokers and simply find a third party to transport your motorcycle for you. This can save you time finding a specialized carrier, but if the agent or broker recommends a commercial carrier be sure the company has the right equipment to ship your bike safely.

    4.       Conclusion
    This report has identified six types of motorcycle and five key Considerations While Shopping. The types of motorcycle have improved significally in recent years in terms of weight, size, price and speed. The result of this repot  is expected to decide the best motorcycle that we need.

           Report Main Body

    The main body of the report should be carefully structured in a way that leads the reader through the issue.
    You should split it into sections using numbered sub-headings relating to themes or areas for consideration. For each theme, you should aim to set out clearly and concisely the main issue under discussion and any areas of difficulty or disagreement. It may also include experimental results. All the information that you present should be related back to the brief and the precise subject under discussion.

    4    Conclusions and Recommendations

    The conclusion sets out what inferences you draw from the information, including any experimental results. It may include recommendations, or these may be included in a separate section.
    Recommendations suggest how you think the situation could be improved, and should be specific, achievable and measurable. If your recommendations have financial implications, you should set these out clearly, with estimated costs if possible.

  3. CAUSE AND EFFECT RELATIONSHIP (HUBUNGAN SEBAB AKIBAT)
    Kalimat sebab akibat adalah kalimat yang digunakan untuk menunjukkan suatu situasi yang menyebabkan terjadinya situasi lainnya. Situasi yang menjadi penyebab dinamakan cause (sebab) dan situasi yang menjadi akibat dinamakan effect (akibat).
    Contoh Kalimat Bahasa Inggris Sebab Akibat:
    1.     I got flat tire, so I can’t come on time at school.
    Cause: I got flat tire
    Effect: I can’t come on time at school.
    2.     She came late to her school this morning because she got a little accident.
    Effect: She came late to her school this morning.
    Cause: She got a little accident.
    Secara umum cause ditulis lebih dahulu baru kemudian diikuti effect. Namun tidak jarang juga effect ditulis lebih dahulu dan diikuti oleh cause seperti dalam contoh kalimat sebab akibat di atas. 
    Aturan menyusun kalimat sebab akibat

    Dalam Bahasa Inggris, untuk menghubungkan situasi yang memiliki hubungan sebab akibat, diperlukan connectors (penghubung) tertentu, yaitu:
    ·         conjunctions: because, as, so, for, since, as a result, because of, due to, owing to, as a result of, as a consequence of
    ·         adverbial conjunctions: thus, therefore (for that reason), thereby (by that means, as a result of that), hence, consequently
    Penggunaan connectors tersebut mengikuti beberapa aturan sebagai berikut (perhatikan secara seksama peletakan connectors dan tanda baca yang digunakan pada masing-masing contoh kalimat:
    Aturan 1 : Connectors Diikuti noun (kata benda)
    Connectors tersebut adalah : due to/owing to /as a result of/as a consequence of/ because of + noun (kata benda)
    Connectors + Cause, + Effect
    Effect + Connectors + Cause
    Contoh:
    1. Carol is very proud because of her beauty
    2. Due to rainy weather, Nina brings an umbrella.
    3. Owing to Nany’s sincerity, everyone loves her.
    4. Many buildings were broken as a result of the earthquake.
    5. John is fired as a consequence of his fatal mistakes.
    Aturan 2 : Connectors Diikuti clause (klausa)
    Connectors tersebut adalah : because, as, so, for, since, as a result + clause (klausa)
    Connectors + Cause, + Effect
    Effect, + Connectors + Cause
    Contoh:
    1.     Because I will take her postgraduate study in Australia, I decided to move there next year.
    2.     As the government has announced the new petrol price, some gas stations follow this regulation.
    3.     For I cannot do all the test items on time, I fail to get a perfect score.
    4.     My friend is invited to follow English Camp in Singapore since he is one of the experts.
    5.     May father has got a flat tire, so he cannot reach the office on time.
