Small sportbike?

My first post here.

Nakakakita ako minsan ng motor na parang sport bike ang dating (ex. FZR) pero maliit lang, just right for my height.

1.) What's this officially called? Sport bike din ba?
2.) What are the common displacement for this type of bike? Ang alam ko lang kasi basta less than 400cc sila :)

3.) Kawasaki ata ang nakita ko nun , but are there any brands?

Thanks in advance.

It is still called a sportbike. Below 400cc are the usually the 125, 150, 250, cc. There are other brands that produce these kinds of bikes including Honda, Cagiva, Aprilia, etc. etc.
In a world of compromise, some don't.

Hi raimond!

Dati naalala ko may mga nakita pa akong sportbikes with full flarings pero 50cc lang. I saw the Yamaha YSR50 and Honda NSR50.

I used to own a Kawasaki ZZR250 pero parang kasing laki na siya ng isang older model Yamaha FZR400. Don't know if it's considered small pa rin.

There are even smaller "sportbikes" than those YSRs. I saw 2  at Sanlo Vill. They're called pocket bikes. They're only about 3 feet long! Check this out:  http://pocketbike.com/  

Very cute but very expensive also.

fully faired bikes are classified as sportbikes and sport-tourers. the difference lies in the riding position with the sport-tourers having a slightly forgiving riding position than that of a sportbike.

diplacements vary from 50cc to 1300cc with nearly all motorcycle manufacturers having their own version of the said class.
