Well like I said early on. All of what we are talking about are actually motorcycles. Every single one. The other classifications we are assigning are sub catagories of motorcycles. The early motorcycles are actually motorized bicycles on the order of your motorized bicycle.

The early motorcycles were nothing more than motorized bicycles. Your Schwinn should be called a motor bike similar to the Whizzer. The one that fooled me was the Mustang. It had small wheels like a scooter but was a motorcycle with engine in the proper place and gears. I read that they raced it on dirt track against the Harley dirt tracker and it easily beat the Harley. The AMA racing committee made a rule that dirt trackers had to have a minimum wheel size of 16 inches.
