Does one ride or drive a motorcycle?

Presently, there are 870 posts tagged motorcycle riding and 192 posts tagged motorcycle driving with 35 posts overlapping.

Is it correct to assign the action as "riding", or as "driving" when using the vehicle? Should there be a clarification in the wiki for motorcycle? How many other transportation tags are worth looking into for action classification?

I'd say ride.

You drive a car, you ride a motorcycle.

Both are correct because it's a motor vehicle, whereas you don't drive a bicycle (bike) because it's not

However "ride a motorcycle" is 6–8x more common in usage than "drive a motorcycle" overall, and it's safe to say in most cases people are riding motorcycles solo
