A few dictionary descriptions.
Motorcycle: Also called: motorbike; a two-wheeled vehicle, having a stronger frame than a bicycle that is driven by a petrol engine, usually with a capacity greater than 125 cc. Most states also stress that the engine is straddled by the riders legs. (vs. at the rear wheel ala scooter.)
Motor-scooter: Often shortened to: scooter a light motorcycle with small wheels and an enclosed engine. Usually limited to less than 250 cc.
Moped: A motorized bicycle that has pedals in addition to a low-powered gasoline engine designed for low-speed operation. In many states 50 cc or less. Many do not actually have pedals and have a legal limit of 35 MPH.
Motor Bicycle: A bicycle that is propelled by an attached motor.
I do know what you're saying though.
