    Interesting News for sure.

    News Approved

    It says 1894. However, I think there have been motorcycles from before that date if I am not mistaken.
    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

      Funny, even the first motorcycle in the world was twin cylinder. I don't know what have we done wrong.

          To me "twin-cylinder, four-valve, water-cooled, 1488cc engine" is what like cant belive that. And I am sure there must have been motor bikes prior to that, but this might be oldest one to go for acution. Lets take it that away.

          Anyway its nice to see a bike of that era

              Despite a maximum power output of only 2.5bhp at 240rpm, the H&W was capable of speeds approaching 30mph, an exciting prospect at a time when powered road transport of any sort was still a novelty.
              Just 240 rpm? the torque must have been awesome! Amazing.
