But what about motorcycles with V8 engines in them? Are they still motorcycles or 2 wheeled cars? Oh now you've got me confused! ;-)

Legally, yes. Trikes are bikes. Ask any State's DMV.
Tricycle, bicyle, motorcycle. The common denominator is, cycle.
I think motorcycle is the common word. Trikes aren't bikes. However, Trikes and bikes are motorcycles and that's how DMVs refer to them. You don't get a Bike license. I don't even think bike has any legal meaning contrary to what you are saying.
