Motorcycle

Motorcycle is a Vehicle subtype for motorcycles and motorbikes. It adds no properties of its own, but the @type classification tells search engines this is a motorcycle, not a car or truck. All 39 Vehicle properties apply. The most relevant for motorcycle listings are vehicleEngine (displacement and power), mileageFromOdometer, fuelType, and numberOfPreviousOwners.

For a complete property walkthrough, see the Vehicle example. Replace "@type": "Vehicle" with "@type": "Motorcycle". Note that some Vehicle properties (like numberOfDoors) do not apply to motorcycles. Omit them rather than setting them to 0.

Common Motorcycle mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

  1. 01

    Using Vehicle for a motorcycle

    Wrong
    "@type": "Vehicle" for a motorcycle listing
    Right
    "@type": "Motorcycle"

    Motorcycle is the correct subtype for motorbikes. It helps Google filter the listing into motorcycle-specific search experiences.

  2. 02

    Setting numberOfDoors on a motorcycle

    Wrong
    "numberOfDoors": 0
    Right
    Omit numberOfDoors entirely

    Do not set inapplicable Vehicle properties to zero. Omit them. A motorcycle has no doors; setting the value to 0 is technically wrong (0 is a value, absence is correct).
