AMG executives show the Teutuls a wood and brass motorcycle built by German automobile inventor Gottlieb Daimler in 1885. This first motorcycle runs on lantern oil and has no spark plugs, just an open flame and boiler.
@Talonz59 Deimler invented the first internal combustion mc. Most inventions happen by accident or chance. Most authorities don't consider a steam powered bike, a motorcycle. If you do, then the French Michaux-Perreaux steam velocipede of 1868 is the first mc. Preceeding Roper with 1 year. Still Deimler is the most credited for inventing the motorcycle.
Daimler didn't invent the first motorcycle, he was preceeded by almost 20yrs by Sylvester Howard Roper of Roxbury Massachusets. I'm a bit surprised that representatives of AMG Daimler still tout Gottlieb as being the inventor of the motorcylce when by his own admission it was just a test bed with outboard training wheels for testing the engine.
