History
Ever wondered where motorcycles first got their start? We have to head all the way back to 1885, when Gottlieb Daimler invented the very first motorized bicycle. It didn’t quite look like the modern motorcycle, like the kind you’d find today, but rather it was a pedal bike with a combustion engine. This would quickly evolve into something more robust as more people became involved, and eventually it opened a unique racing circuit.
This remained the primary use of motorcycles, until closer to the first and second world war, when various armed forces commissioned motorcycle manufacturers to build tens of thousands of bikes for the war effort. Once the wars were over many veterans continued to ride together to maintain their camaraderie. This is part of the reason why muscle bikes became so prevalent, but by the end of the 20th century, today’s biggest Japanese manufacturers had entered the market with sportier models that were easier for the novice rider to handle. This helped motorcycle ownership and riding really gain traction.
Types
Speaking of models, you’re probably not just here to read about cool facts and historical notes about motorcycles. You’re here to buy one! Think about what you’re going to do with your bike, because this is going to help you decide what kind of bike you’ll get. As we mentioned earlier, sportier bikes are popular among first-time riders, primarily because their lightweight and easier to control, even if their engines pack a little extra punch. If you’re looking for a classic cruiser, then you’re probably the kind of rider who likes to roll through town in style, while keeping their trips fairly short. However, if you like taking longer trips on your bike and even traveling across the country, you’ll want a long-distance motorcycle, known as a touring bike. These come with more durable features that also offer more storage space for all your traveling supplies.
But the best way to find your perfect motorcycle is to see it in person! Stop by Motonation of Bolivar and we’ll give you the full tour of available models. We proudly serve our neighbors in Corinth, Oxford, and Olive Branch, Mississippi.
