'''Motorcycle'''

A '''motorcycle''', also known as a '''motorbike''', '''bike''', or '''cycle''', is a [[two-wheeled motor vehicle]]. Motorcycles vary considerably depending on the task for which they are designed, such as long distance travel, navigating congested urban traffic, cruising, sport and racing, or off-road conditions.

== History ==

The first internal combustion, [[petrol fueled motorcycle]] was the [[Daimler Reitwagen]]. It was designed and built by the German inventors [[Gottlieb Daimler]] and [[Wilhelm Maybach]] in Bad Cannstatt, Germany in 1885.

== Types of Motorcycles ==

Motorcycles are classified into three main types: [[Street motorcycles]], [[Off-road motorcycles]], and [[Dual purpose motorcycles]].

=== Street Motorcycles ===

Street motorcycles are motorcycles designed for being ridden on paved roads. They have smooth tires with a light tread pattern and engines generally in the 125 cc and up range.

=== Off-road Motorcycles ===

Off-road motorcycles, or dirt bikes, are lighter than street bikes and are built to handle dirt, gravel, mud, and other types of rough terrain.

=== Dual Purpose Motorcycles ===

Dual purpose motorcycles are designed to be used on both paved roads and off-road. They are similar to street bikes but have features that make them capable of off-road riding.

== Safety ==

Motorcycle safety is a serious concern for riders. The most common causes of motorcycle accidents are due to [[motorcycle helmet|helmet]] non-use, alcohol, speeding, and lack of training or experience.
