Is a motorcycle considered a motor vehicle?
Basic concepts
Explanation
Motorcycles are considered automobiles. This is because motorcycles are two-wheeled vehicles that meet certain engine displacement and speed characteristics, classifying them as automobiles.
- Automobiles are motor vehicles used to transport people and goods, and motorcycles are included in this category.
- Motorcycles can have an engine with a displacement greater than 50 cubic centimeters or reach a speed greater than 45 kilometers per hour, which differentiates them from mopeds, which have engines with lower power and speed.

Therefore, a motorcycle is a type of automobile, regardless of its specific displacement or whether it has more than 125 cc.
