1. Motocross
   First up is Motocross, where the racers are laid out on open and rough terrain. The approximate length of the course in international motocross competitions is about 1.5 to 5 kilometers (1 to 3 miles), and the races are quite short. They averagely take 40 minutes or less to finish.
   
   Motocross courses include uphill & downhill slopes, wet & muddy areas, and turns with varying difficulty to make it more challenging. Because of these obstacles in courses, Motocross is the most physically demanding sport on this list.
   
   
2. Time Trials
   Time trials are a competition based on point systems. It's not like your average race to the finish line. These cross-country races take place over rugged terrain, and the riders are issued route and time cards.
   
   Along the course, these cards are stamped at control points on the track. Points are deducted for every few minutes (usually 2 minutes) that pass. And the rider with the most points wins.
   
   
3. Superbike Racing
   The common image that comes to mind when you think about motor racing. Motorcycles that enter superbike races need to comply with a standard. And it's popular among manufacturers because they can promote their products.
   
   Only four-stroke motorcycles are allowed to race. Four-cylinder motorcycles must have a range of 750cc and 1000cc, while twin cylinders have to range between 800 and 1200cc.
   
   
4. Drag Racing
   The course goes straight with only two competitors for each race in drag racing. Bikes that enter these competitions are extremely fast and could cover 60 feet within less than a few seconds. Some of the bikes rely solely on nitromethane.
