A motorcycle or motorbike is a two-wheeled
vehicle propelled by a petrol engine. The
first successful motorized bicycle was built
in France 1901, and British and US
manufacturers first produced motorbikes in
1903. The first really successful two-wheel
design was devised by Michael and Eugene
Werner in France 1901. They adopted the
classic motorcycle layout with the engine low
down between the wheels.
