Further to this post regarding no love for Cruisers, I wondered what the split by type actually is. The 2009 new registration figures were :-
| Code: | Naked 21,268 22.37%
Supersport 18,930 19.91%
Scooters 16,939 17.82%
Adventure 10,416 10.96%
Custom 9,255 9.73%
Sport/Touring 8,338 8.77%
Trail/Enduro 5,476 5.76%
Touring 3,663 3.85%
Unspecified 789 0.83%

So using their categories, what style is your main ride?
[edit] The definitions (apparently) are :-
Custom These machines include ‘cruisers’ and ‘choppers’. They have flat but typically feature high handlebars, low seat height and forward footrests. Body panels and fittings contain high polished chrome content.
AdventureSport (including Supermoto) These bikes are similar in style to Trail/Enduro motorcycles but are predominantly designed and capable of on-road use. Often they will have features similar to machines included in the Touring category e.g. fairings, luggage carrying
Naked Machines are built to a basic specification with no fairing (or only a small handlebar fairing) and an upright riding position. Engines are large to medium and often called retro.
Sport/Touring Machines that fit between the SuperSport and Touring categories. Typical features include full or partial fairings and practical rider and pillion seating with low to medium ride handlebars. Tend to have medium to large capacity
SuperSport These machines are designed to mimic or directly replicate racing bikes. They normally have full fairings and low handlebars and are sometimes referred to as race replicas.
Scooters Have an engine, as an integral part of the rear suspension or the chassis is a step-through type, irrespective of cc or wheel size. Includes all types of transmission.
Touring Bikes generally have large engines and are designed for long-distance riding. Typical features include a more comfortable seating position for rider and pillion, luggage carrying capability and weather protection, such as fairings with a
Trail/Enduro These bikes encompass trials, enduro and trail bikes with an off-road or cross-country capability.

I guess my FZ1 Fazer is "Sport/Touring".
Yamaha can only describe it as "FZ Series" themselves.  |
