Shouldn't this be mereged, or at least referenced with "click here for full article"... with the article on sportbikes? And the article titled crotch rocket (which itself should probably be merged into sportbikes).
The sole reference given or this page is a dubious one indeed. The about.com page referred to makes a reference to India as a region, instead of as a nation. The region is Asia, or if only India is intended then it would be proper to refer to the territory of India. I've informed about.com or rather tried to, about many of the errors on some of their web pages. They don't respond. Flatshooter (talk)
For the most part, I would think motorbikes and scooters are fully, - separate things. If you ride a scooter, you don't call it a motorbike. Certainly people who ride bikes don't call them scooters. Generally, for clarification, if you see sales listing in papers, they will say motorbikes and scooters, or in e bay's case, they both have separate listings. Technically, they are quite different machines. I would say, in both common usage, and technically, a scooter and a Motorbike is a separate creature and they aren't synonomous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deathlibrarian (talk • contribs) 08:18, 27 February 2021
Just to confirm Mechanical Keyboarder that "Standard is often a synonym for naked, a term that was originally used in reference to 1950s road racing bikes." is sourced, not opinion. There was an assertion from a long-term editor that the term naked occurred after the 1980s plastic wraps were removed. Not so, so I added hard refs.
What are you objecting to as opinon? That standard is often a synonym for naked or the latter part of the sentence?--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 18:26, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
