Make, model, submodel, year, vehicle type (Motorcycle or Scooter) and motorcycle type such as Street Motorcycle or Scooter.

Call /motorcycles/v1/search with filters like make, model, year or type. The query must be narrow — a model, a 3+ character q, or at least two filters — otherwise it returns a 400.

A curated sample of about 340 models across 30 makes, model years 1903-2025. List endpoints return up to 25 rows per call.
