During World War II the motorcycle was used on a large scale. All warring nations presented their production to military Motorcycles. The American motorcycle industry, represented by Harley-Davidson and Indian, produced over 300,000 motorcycles, the British industry 425,000 motorcycles for the Allies. The most copied motorcycle in world: a DKW RT 125, 1939-1965 (bike tune up). The motorcycle was used in post-war period as a "cheaper car replacement". The motorcycles should be robust, reliable and simple in construction. The journalist Ernst Leverkus called corresponding models "Westerwald motorcycles" and led as examples of Ardi B 250, BMW R 24, NSU 251 OSL, Triumph BDG, Victoria KR.
As usual, when technology is emerging, finalization occurs in several places almost simultaneously. This was the case for the plane, it was the same for the motorcycle. In 1869, on the other side of Atlantic, some witnesses attest to existence of another two-wheeled vehicle powered by a steam engine, the Roper, who seems to have been a fairground attraction.
1958 Ducati introduced a variant of desmodromic valve control. This built today positive control was designed by Fabio Taglioni. In 1960s, the motorcycle demand and production in era of economic miracle reduced resistant to 1969 recorded the lowest production and approval numbers. The German motorcycle industry was on the ground, only BMW still made - in four-digit production area -. Motorcycles with large displacement ago.
The Japanese motorcycle industry put forth in 1972 more than 3.5 million motorcycles annually, while in same year, Germany had a low of only 198,221 registered motorcycles. Honda has been the world market leader; the small motorcycle Honda Super Cub was the world's most-produced automobile. Japanese producers to give the two-wheeler to a new meaning as a "sport, hobby and leisure device" succeeded.
First company that was manufactured in USA motorcycles on an industrial scale Indian -. 1913 to 1917 the largest motorcycle manufacturer in world. In postwar period, Harley-Davidson became the largest motorcycle manufacturer in world; in Germany began with numerous companies of motorcycle production, including well-known names such as DKW (1922) and BMW (1923). In 1920s, the military except distribution of motorcycles with sidecar began.
A motorcycle is typically a single-track motor vehicle with two wheels and one or two seats. Motorcycles are characterized by a lower relative to car power to weight ratio. The engine power has less mass to accelerate and has a lower rolling resistance, so powerful production motorcycle in relatively high acceleration (0-100 km / h in up to 2.7 seconds) can reach. The drag coefficient of motorcycles, however, is relatively high, so that only aerodynamically perfected models actually can reach speeds of over 300 km / h, on 1 January 2014 a total of 4,055,000 motorcycles were registered in Germany, in Switzerland (September 30 2012) 679 822 motorcycles.
In 1988 there were at BMW first antilock braking system for motorcycles as an option and 1992 first traction control at the Honda Pan European. In 1999, Suzuki with its Hayabusa 1300, first over 300 km / h fast production motorcycle before, in 2006 Piaggio with their MP3 first tricycle with swivel mechanism (Leaning Multi Wheeler), 2007 Honda inir Gold Wing a motorcycle airbag and 2014, the KTM AG in its 1190 Adventure the Motorcycle stability Control (MSC), an electronic stability control of Robert Bosch.
The history of motorcycle is first history of bicycle. After 1817 the "running machine" by Karl Drais represented the beginning, the crank was invented in 1860s. Pierre Michaux developed in 1869 the steam valve, which is considered the forerunner of motorcycle; Steam wheels were made up in 1890s in United States.
