the semi truck has more weight than a motorcycle. the truck will have to go slow with it carring the passangers and the cargo, alonf with the weight of the trailer and and the weight of the cab itself. the motorcycle will only carry the passanger and the cycle its self. theres a big weight difference. anorher thinf is the motors are both a different size. the motorcycles motor is alot smaller than the trucks so the bikes motor will get ready faster. the same goes with alot of pick up trucks. some trucks have a weight to start signal because they are trying to get the motor ready.

I hope this helps.

Answer:

The semi-truck has more weight than the motorcycle.

Explanation:

Obviously a truck is heavier than a motorcycle, so it will have more inertia. Hope this helps!
