6. Sport Touring

Entry Level Sport Bike:
Entry Level of sport bikes refers to the bikes which are not purely sport bike but gives the rider a feel of the sport bike. The Design and performance will be similar to that of a Sport bike , but the power will e De-tuned for the Longevity and Durability of the engine. (e.g.: Unicorn 150, Karizma R, Pulsar 220, Ninja 250R, Suzuki GS500, etc...).These bikes can be used on Streets legally.

Small Capacity Sport Bike:
Small capacity sports bike are the true sports bike with the tiny engines ranging from 125cc to 400cc. Some times even 50cc engines. These bikes are designed for sports but can also be used as the Legal street bike also. The Frame, motor, sing arm are similar to the entry level bikes but the wheels, tires and body work makes the difference. They are first available in 2-stroke and 4-stroke but now due to emission laws 2-stroke bikes were banned. (e.g.: CBR125R, CBR150R, R125, R15, etc...)

Super Sport:
They are the middle weight sports bike, ranging from 170 kgs to 250 kgs. the bike engine will be ranging from 600cc to 800cc. These bikes are designed for higher speeds and hence it will be flat and hence people with higher heights feel difficult to ride this bike comfortably.
