"Point me!"
This article is about motorcycles in general. You may be looking for the motorcycle owned by Sirius Black.

"He liked to complain about things: people at work, Harry, the council, Harry, the bank, and Harry were just a few of his favourite subjects. This morning, it was motorcycles. '… roaring along like maniacs, the young hoodlums,' he said, as a motorcycle overtook them."

— Vernon Dursley ranting and raving^[src]

A motorbike, also known as a motorcycle, is a Muggle device used for transportation, like a bicycle but with a motor, which is nearly always petrol-driven.^[2]

History[]

Sirius Black owned a black motorbike. He also seemed to show an interest in them, lining the walls of his bedroom with pictures of them. His motorbike was given to Rubeus Hagrid in 1981 to transport the infant Harry Potter to the Dursley residence.^[1]

In 1991, Vernon Dursley complained about motorbikes and described the users as 'roaring along like maniacs, the young hoodlums', whilst driving his car.^[3]
