The front section of Motorcycle M includes components such as the handlebars 91, front wheel 92, turn signals, and keyhole. The mid-section of Motorcycle M includes components such as the power system 95, seat 94, and kickstand. The rear section of Motorcycle M includes components such as the taillight, rear wheel 93, and mudguard.
[0044] The steering wheel 91 is used to control the direction of travel of the motorcycle M. Functional components, including instruments, switches, and rearview mirrors, can be mounted on the steering wheel 91. The steering wheel 91 also has handles (including a throttle grip) and a handbrake. The user can steer the motorcycle M by using the handles, adjust the throttle angle of the power system 95 to control power output by using the throttle grip, and slow down the motorcycle M by using the handbrake. A main light can also be mounted on the steering wheel 91, providing primary illumination for the motorcycle M.
