I would assume it's either. As both come from bicycle.
So both should be equally correct.

It's either depending on how pos you are I suppose

I call it a morotbike but I know Harleys are always referred to as motorcylcles on everything I have ever seen them written on >_ >.....actually, I think the Kawasaki shop says motorcysles aswel....although Im pretty sure bike gear says motorbikes......so yeah I'd say ether is correct

You contradicted yourself roughly thrice in that post.

Motorcycle is the correct terminology; motorbike is more colloquial.

pwnage has nothing to do with age. I've pwned people twice my age. =P
