A motor cycle is larger, for one. Motor bikes can also have pedals. There is no difference. In UK law, there are two classes of two wheel motorized vehicle: Moped (a vehicle not exceeding 50cc) and motorcycle. Motorbike is a slang term for motorcycle and used, along with the contracted form bike to describe, in general terms, any plastic fantastic, tupperware tornado or screaming Japanese crotch rocket. The US tend to raise the status of their iron horses to icon, and so motorcycle is much more fitting.
