MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) Rider's Course Practice Test

Sport-type motorcycles typically feature a higher than average power-to-weight ratio.

1. True

2. False

3. Cannot determine

4. Possibly true

The correct answer is: True

Sport-type motorcycles are specifically designed to provide high performance and are characterized by their lightweight construction and powerful engines. This combination results in a high power-to-weight ratio, allowing these motorcycles to accelerate quickly and have a high top speed compared to other types of motorcycles. Therefore, the statement that sport-type motorcycles typically feature a higher than average power-to-weight ratio is true. Option B (False), C (Cannot determine), and D (Possibly true) are incorrect because sport-type motorcycles have been traditionally designed and manufactured with the emphasis on maximizing power-to-weight ratio for high performance.
