  • @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.

  • KEEP THE PPL OFF OF IT IT WILL BE WORTH ALOT SOMEDAY AND END UP IN A MUSEUM

  • You shouldnt ride that thing! You let big boys on that, it'll last another 100 years.. Keep everyone off of it and it will last 500 years.

  • 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.

  • Paul senior's attitude always makes me laugh.
