===Construction=== {{See also|Motorcycle components|Motorcycle design}} Motorcycle construction is the engineering, manufacturing, and assembly of components and systems for a motorcycle which results in the performance, cost, and aesthetics desired by the designer. With some exceptions, construction of modern mass-produced motorcycles has standardised on a [[steel]] or [[aluminium]] [[Motorcycle frame|frame]], [[motorcycle fork|telescopic forks]] holding the front wheel, and [[disc brake]]s. Some other body parts, designed for either aesthetic or performance reasons may be added. A petrol-powered [[motorcycle engine|engine]] typically consisting of between one and four [[cylinder (engine)|cylinders]] (and less commonly, up to eight cylinders) coupled to a [[manual transmission|manual]] five- or six-speed [[sequential gearbox|sequential transmission]] drives the [[swingarm]]-mounted rear wheel by a [[Chain drive|chain]], [[driveshaft]], or [[Belt (mechanical)|belt]]. The repair can be done using a [[motorcycle lift]].
