There must be a technical term to it which i do not know, but they are riding only on hind wheels.

1985 Trek 720 touring bike, all Reynolds 531 and Campy investment-cast lugs

As far as motorcycles, I am fond of my GSX-R750 for the track, and I ride a 65mpg 250cc sportbike called a "Ninja EX250" to work. [Don't laugh--it can cruise along at "the dozen" (100mph), albeit 2000rpm from red line.]

You know that you would enjoy the twisties more if you used all your tire. It's easy, just lean it over further!

The SV is a nice bike. I have the 1988 version, a Honda Hawk GT.

unfortunately living where I do (city surrounded by flat plainland) means there is only one twisty road worth riding out here. And what is the result of also having harsh snowy winters? You guessed it, plenty of gravel strewn across the roads that is NOT swept up come spring. But it is a fun road to ride, most of the corners are hidden by crests or covered with treeline. It's a narrow twisty undivided, unpainted road where you never know what is going to be around the next corner.

Last ride I came around a bend and spotted what first appeared to be a brown paper bag. As I neared, it turned out to be a porcupine sitting smack in the middle of the road. Amazing how slowly those things waddle away..
