They have smooth tires with tread patterns and engines generally in the 125 cc (7.6 cu in) and over range. Typically, street motorcycles are capable of speeds up to 100 mph (160 km/h), and many of speeds in excess of 125 mph (201 km/h). Street motorcycles powered by electric motors are becoming more common, with firms like Harley-Davidson entering the market. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Standard"><span class="anchor" id="Naked_/_Standard"></span><span class="anchor" id="Naked"></span><span class="anchor" id="Roadster"></span> Standard</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Types_of_motorcycles&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Standard"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:BSA_(8037010249).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/BSA_%288037010249%29.jpg/220px-BSA_%288037010249%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="119" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/BSA_%288037010249%29.jpg/330px-BSA_%288037010249%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/BSA_%288037010249%29.jpg/440px-BSA_%288037010249%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3379" data-file-height="1831" /></a><figcaption>A standard BSA motorcycle</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:1997SuzukiGS500E-001.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/36/1997SuzukiGS500E-001.jpg/220px-1997SuzukiGS500E-001.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/36/1997SuzukiGS500E-001.jpg/330px-1997SuzukiGS500E-001.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/36/1997SuzukiGS500E-001.jpg/440px-1997SuzukiGS500E-001.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2000" data-file-height="1500" /></a><figcaption>A modern <a href="/wiki/Suzuki_GS500" title="Suzuki GS500">Suzuki</a> standard motorcycle</figcaption></figure> <p><b>Standard motorcycles</b> (also called <b>roadsters</b>, or <b>naked bikes</b>) are street motorcycles that conform to a stereotypical image of a motorcycle, with an exposed engine and fuel tank above it.
