The image adjective with forms relative documents have been collected, including: streamline, quality, classic, Practical, steady, Leisure, tasteful, unique and carry out investigation into young population. The result of investigation has revealed image of motorcycle form is composed by three factors: evaluative, individual, and appearance factor, as well as young people are affected by two image adjective:”classic-alternative”, ”unique-popular”.

From this result, we can draw a conclusion that upper curve of motorcycle is the most important factor in motorcycle form. Consequently we pick the main parts of the upper curve by factor reduce method. otorcycle in Taiwan now that I hope this result of the paper will be helpful to motorcycle design here.
