I've seen it used to describe anything from a complete bike that is missing just the engine, down to nothing more than a frame with triple clamps, forks, swing arm and wheels.

The most common version seems to include handlebars, tank, seat, guards etc.
Stuff like carby, exhaust, levers, etc seems pretty optional.

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.
