Dream car preview

A single-tracked motor vehicle that is two wheeled is called a motorcycle. There are three categories of motorcycles. There are street, off-road and dual purpose motorcycles. Mopeds, scooters, sport bikes and cruisers come under the class of street bikes. The off-road motorcycles are explicitly manufactured for racing. These are lawfully not meant for transportation. The dual purpose motorcycles are used both for transportation and racing. Scooters have been undergoing modifications and newer models launched in the market. There are again different categories of scooters, these are electric scooters, the gas scooters, motorized scooters, mobility scooters and kick scooters.

Ever since motorcycle was first developed in 1885 by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach, two German inventors, these have become popular modes of transport. Some Asian countries such as China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam have more motorcycles than other vehicles. Their sales have been increasing in countries such as the United States. There are a number of factors that have made motorcycles popular these days. Primary among them is the easy maneuverability in city traffic that is increasingly caught up in nasty traffic snarls. People also have to commute long distance from their home to their place of work. Parking place is difficult to find. Even if one finds them, it will be overcrowded. Running a vehicle in cities is becoming expensive having to pay toll charges, congestion charges, road tax and parking fees. Motorcycles become handy. They are more economical with better fuel efficacy too.
