Motorcycles - Two or three wheels are better than four?
The motorcycle is a two wheel (and occasionally three wheel) single track motorized vehicle. The first motorcycle was the Daimler Reitwagen produced in Germany in 1885. Since its inception, the motorcycle has become the most common form of motorized transport in the world. Price has played a large part in this popularity; motorcycles are considerably cheaper than the other form of popular motorized transport, the automobile. There are currently about 200 million motorcycles on the road around the world. The popularity of motorcycles varies around the world, with the motorcycle most common in developing countries. India and China both have large numbers of motorcycles on their roads, with 37 million motorcycles traversing Indian roads alone. China comes in a close second, with about 34 million motorcycles on Chinese roads. Motorcycles in these countries and other developing nations are used as a primary mode of transportation. Motorcycles are less popular in the United States and Japan, where motorcycling is considered a hobby and automobiles are the primary mode of transportation. Motorcycles in Europe are used both as primary transportation, and also for leisure. Scooters are particulary popular in Europe, probably because it is the home of major producers of scooters like Piaggio and Peugeot. While the motorcycle was invented in Germany, the largest producers of motorcycles initially were the American companies Indian and Harley Davidson. After World War II, the British company BSA was the world’s largest producer of motorcycles. BSA held that position until 1955, when the German company NSU took the spot as the world’s largest producer. During the 1960’s, Japanese manufacturers began to gain market share around the world. Honda began exporting motorcycles to the United States in the 1960’s, and by the end of the 1960’s was the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. The Honda Super Cub became the best selling motorized vehicle in the world, with Honda selling over 60 million models over the Super Cub’s production run. Honda is still the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, with production sites in Japan, India, the United States, and China along with other locations around the world. Other Japanese manufacturers, including Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki, are also significant players in the world motorcycle market.
