History

As you become more and more interested in the motorcycle world, you’re probably asking yourself how it all started. The roots date all the way back to 1885 when Gottlieb Daimler invented the very first motorized bicycle. The simple design consisted of an internal combustion engine integrated into a bicycle. As simple as it might have been, it was the first successful attempt at doing so. This legendary milestone sparked a number of subsequent models, which slowly began to improve on the previous design.

It was about ten years later when production really picked up and De Dion-Bouton designed a lightweight engine that was easy to assemble. It wasn’t long before mass production began. As time passed, improvements to this model would lead bikes to eventually start resembling the motorcycle of today that you know and love.

Once the Great War and WWII ended, motorcycle use began to transition from military and other professional use to having a much stronger presence in the commercial market. In fact, quite a few of the Japanese manufacturers that showed up during the second half of the 20th century even slimmed down some standard models. The result was a much sportier aesthetic while also being an easier to manage bike ideal for casual commuting.
 

Types

Of course, today’s models include a wide variety of different functions. You’ll still have access to those big muscle bikes and cruisers that originated motorcycle culture as we know it. In addition, you’ll also find sporty, lightweight models. There are also bikes that are geared toward frequent travelers. These touring motorcycles allow you to enjoy the open road in a way that you’ve never experienced it before. No matter what your personal preferences and style are, you’ll be able to find a bike to match it.
