The first motorcycle was built in 1885 by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach.
The fastest production motorcycle can exceed 400 km/h (250 mph).
Motorcycles are more fuel-efficient than cars, often reaching 50–70 miles per gallon.
Riders often describe motorcycling as freedom on two wheels — an escape from daily routines and a way to connect with the open road. With the right gear and awareness, it’s both thrilling and safe.
