Motorcycles are included in Miscellaneous. Military ones could go in softskins. Either way, they would be judged in the open system similar to what AMPS uses.

Yes, it is. We didn't get that many MC's when we had a separate class and they didn't fit in with any other automotive group so we moved them to Misc where each one is judged on its own merit.
