Motorcycle History

While the first motorcycles don't look like the models you know today, they first popped up in 1885 when Gottlieb Daimler attached a combustion engine to a bicycle. At least, he was the first to do it successfully. This laid the foundation for the improvements that would come later, like in 1895 when De Dion-Bouton created the first lightweight and easy-to-assemble engine that would not only make motorized bikes easier to ride, but also make mass production possible.

The early days of motorcycles focused primarily on racing, so many of the initial improvements were geared toward a specific demographic of riders. However, with the first and second world wars, interest and need for motorcycles grew and grew, which also spurred innovative leaps. At the end of WWII, the demand for motorcycles would move from the military to the commercial markets. Everyday commuters and thrill-seekers wanted one of these two-wheeled rides. This is also around the same time some of today's most popular Japan-based manufacturers got their start, adding slimmer, more lightweight models to the mix. These were easier for the average rider to control and made the activity more accessible to a wider group of people.

Motorcycle Types

To better accommodate this wider variety of riding styles, today's models span a wider range of designs and features. For example, you can still choose one of the muscle bikes that you might normally associate with the motorcycle industry, as well as the cruisers and other classics. But there are also new models designed for more comfortable long-distance riding, as well as sportier models that go faster and harder. And even if you can't find something you like, you always have the option of upgrading and customizing your ride to better suit your riding style and performance needs.
