About Motorcycle

There are many different styles of motorcycles which vary depending on the task which they are designed to accomplish, such as long distance travel, urban traffic, speed, off road travel, and cruising. Motorcycles are the most affordable form of motorized transport in many parts of the world because they are relatively cheap to purchase and get amazing gas mileage.

History
The first engine powered motorcycle was the Daimler Reitwagen designed and built by German inventors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in 1885. It's design has been improved and redone to become popular means of transportation in both World Wars and beyond

Techinical Aspects
Motorcycles, with a few exceptions, get well above 60 miles per gallon. The low end of the spectrum is the Honda VTR1000F which gets 29 MPG and the high is the Verucci Nitro 50cc Scooter which gets 107 MPG.
