Street bikes include cruisers, sport bikes, scooters and mopeds, and many other types.
Off-road motorcycles include many types designed for dirt-oriented racing classes such
as motocross and are not street legal in most areas. Dual purpose machines like the dual-
sport style are made to go off-road but include features to make them legal and comfortable on
the street as well.

The inventors called their invention the retaken ("riding car"). It was designed as an
expedient testbed for their new engine, rather than a true prototype vehicle.
The first commercial design for a self-propelled cycle was a three-wheel design called
the Butler Petrol Cycle, conceived of Edward Butler in England in 1884. He exhibited his plans
for the vehicle at the Stanley Cycle Show in London in 1884. The vehicle was built by the Merry
weather Fire Engine company in Greenwich, in 1888.
The Butler Petrol Cycle was a three-wheeled vehicle, with the rear wheel directly driven
by a 5⁄8 hp (0.47 kW), 40 cc (2.4 cu in) displacement, 2+1⁄4 in × 5 in (57 mm × 127 mm) bore ×
stroke, flat twin four-stroke engine (with magneto ignition replaced by coil and battery)
equipped with rotary valves and a float-fed carburettor (five years before Maybach)
and Ackermann steering, all of which were state of the art at the time. Starting was by
compressed ai r. The engine was liquid-cooled, with a radiator over the rear driving wheel.
Speed was controlled by means of a throttle valve lever. No braking system was fitted; the
vehicle was stopped by raising and lowering the rear driving wheel using a foot-operated lever;
the weight of the machine was then borne by two small castor wheels. The driver was seated
between the front wheels. It wasn't, however, a success, as Butler failed to find sufficient
financial backing.
If a two-wheeled vehicle with steam propulsion is considered a motorcycle, then the first
motorcycles built seem to be the French Michaux-Perroux steam velocipede which patent

In 1894, Hildebrand &Wolf muller became the first series production motorcycle, and
the first to be called a motorcycle (German: Motorrad). Excelsior Motor Company, originally a
bicycle manufacturing company based in Coventry, England, began production of their first
motorcycle model in 1896. The first production motorcycle in the US was the Orient-Aster,
built by Charles Metz in 1898 at his factory in Waltham, Massachusetts.
In the early period of motorcycle history, many producers of bicycles adapted their
designs to accommodate the new internal combustion engine. As the engines became more
powerful and designs outgrew the bicycle origins, the number of motorcycle producers
increased. Many of the nineteenth-century inventors who worked on early motorcycles often
moved on to other inventions. Daimler and Roper, for example, both went on to develop
automobiles.
At the end of the 19th century the first major mass-production firms were set up. In
1898, Triumph Motorcycles in England began producing motorbikes, and by 1903 it was
producing over 500 bikes. Other British firms were Royal Enfield, Norton and Birmingham
Small Arms Company who began motorbike production in 1899, 1902 and 1910,
respectively. Indian began production in 1901 and Harley-Davidson was established two years
later. By the outbreak of World War I, the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world was
Indian, producing over 20,000 bikes per year.

Triumph Motorcycles Model H, mass-produced for the war effort and notable for its reliability
During the First World War, motorbike production was greatly ramped up for the war
effort to supply effective communications with front line troops. Messengers on horses were
replaced with despatch riders on motorcycles carrying messages, performing reconnaissance
and acting as military police. American company Harley-Davidson was devoting over 50% of
its factory output toward military contract by the end of the war. The British company Triumph
Motorcycles sold more than 30,000 of its Triumph Type H models to allied forces during the
war. With the rear wheel driven by a belt, the Model H was fitted with a 499 cc (30.5 cu in) air-
cooled four-stroke single-cylinder engine. It was also the first Triumph without pedals.
The Model H in particular, is regarded by many as having been the first "modern
motorcycle". Introduced in 1915 it had a 550-cc side-valve four-stroke engine with a three-speed
gearbox and belt transmission. It was so popular with its users that it was nicknamed the "Trusty
Triumph".

Patrol motorcycles and sidecars.
By the late 1920s or early 1930s, DKW in Germany took over as the largest manufacturer.
NSU Sportmax streamlined motorcycle, 250 cc class winner of the 1955 Grand Prix season
In the 1950s, streamlining began to play an increasing part in the development of racing
motorcycles and the "dustbin fairing" held out the possibility of radical changes to motorcycle
design. NSU and Moto Guzzi were in the vanguard of this development, both producing very
radical designs well ahead of their time. NSU produced the most advanced design, but after the
deaths of four NSU riders in the 1954–1956 seasons, they abandoned further development and
quit Grand Prix motorcycle racing.
Moto Guzzi produced competitive race machines, and until the end of 1957 had a
succession of victories. The following year, 1958, full enclosure fairings were banned from
racing by the FIM in the light of the safety concerns.
From the 1960s through the 1990s, small two-stroke motorcycles were popular
worldwide, partly as a result of East German MZs Walter Kaaden's engine work in the 1950s.

Royal Enfield Bullet
In the 21st century, the motorcycle industry is mainly dominated by Indian and Japanese
motorcycle companies. In addition to the large capacity motorcycles, there is a large market in
smaller capacity (less than 300 cc) motorcycles, mostly concentrated in Asian and African
countries and produced in China and India. A Japanese example is the 1958 Honda Super Cub,
which went on to become the biggest selling vehicle of all time, with its 60 millionth unit
produced in April 2008. Today, this area is dominated by mostly Indian companies with Hero
MotoCorp emerging as the world's largest manufacturer of two wheelers. Its Splendor model
has sold more than 8.5 million to date. Other major producers are Bajaj and TVS Motors.

Fuel economy
Motorcycle fuel economy varies greatly with engine displacement and riding style. A
streamlined, fully faired Matzu Matsuzawa Honda XL125 achieved
470 mpg-US (0.50 L/100 km; 560 mpg-imp) in the Craig Vetter Fuel Economy Challenge "on real
highways – in real conditions". Due to low engine displacements (100–200 cc (6.1–12.2 cu in)),
and high power-to-mass ratios, motorcycles offer good fuel economy. Under conditions of fuel
scarcity like 1950s Britain and modern developing nations, motorcycles claim large shares of
the vehicle market. In the United States, the average motorcycle fuel economy is 44 miles per
US gallon (19 km per litre).
Electric motorcycles

Very high fuel economy equivalents are often derived by electric motorcycles. Electric
motorcycles are nearly silent, zero-emission electric motor-driven vehicles. Operating range
and top speed are limited by battery technology. Fuel cells and petroleum-electric hybrids are
also under development to extend the range and improve performance of the electric drive
system.

tied, with 11 to 14% of those bikes in the survey experiencing major repairs. Harley-Davidsons
had a rate of 24%, while BMWs did worse, with 30% of those needing major repairs. There
were not enough Triumph and Suzuki motorcycles surveyed for a statistically sound conclusion,
though it appeared Suzuki’s were as reliable as the other three Japanese brands while Triumphs
were comparable to Harley-Davidson and BMW. Three-fourths of the repairs in the survey cost
less than US$200 and two-thirds of the motorcycles were repaired in less than two days. In spite
of their relatively worse reliability in this survey, Harley-Davidson and BMW owners showed
the greatest owner satisfaction, and three-fourths of them said they would buy the same bike
again, followed by 72% of Honda owners and 60 to 63% of Kawasaki and Yamaha owners.
Dynamics
Different types of motorcycles have different dynamics and these play a role in how a
motorcycle performs in given conditions. For example, one with a longer wheelbase provides
the feeling of more stability by responding less to disturbances. Motorcycle tyres have a large
influence over handling.
Motorcycles must be leaned in order to make turns. This lean is induced by the method
known as counter steering, in which the rider momentarily steers the handlebars in the direction
opposite of the desired turn. This practice is counterintuitive and therefore often confusing to
novices – and even many experienced motorcyclists.
Such short wheelbase, motorcycles can generate enough torque at the rear wheel, and
enough stopping force at the front wheel, to lift the opposite wheel off the road. These actions,
if performed on purpose, are known as wheelies and stop pies (or endos) respectively.

Wearing a motorcycle helmet reduces the risks of death or head injury in a motorcycle crash
Motorcycles have a higher rate of fatal accidents than automobiles or trucks and
buses. United States Department of Transportation data for 2005 from the Fatality Analysis
Reporting System show that for passenger cars, 18.62 fatal crashes occur per 100,000 registered
vehicles. For motorcycles this figure is higher at 75.19 per 100,000 registered vehicles – four
times higher than for cars. The same data shows that 1.56 fatalities occur per 100 million vehicle

miles travelled for passenger cars, whereas for motorcycles the figure is 43.47 which is 28 times
higher than for cars (37 times more deaths per mile travelled in 2007). Furthermore, for
motorcycles the accident rates have increased significantly since the end of the 1990s, while the
rates have dropped for passenger cars.
The most common configuration of motorcycle accidents in the United States is when a
motorist pulls out or turns in front of a motorcyclist, violating their right-of-way. This is
sometimes called a SMIDSY, an acronym formed from the motorists' common response of
"Sorry mate, I didn't see you”. Motorcyclists can anticipate and avoid some of these crashes
with proper training, increasing their visibility to other traffic, keeping to the speed limits, and
not consuming alcohol or other drugs before riding.

In Canada, motorcycle rider training is compulsory in Quebec and Manitoba only, but
all provinces and territories have graduated licence programs which place restrictions on new
drivers until they have gained experience. Eligibility for a full motorcycle licence or
endorsement for completing a Motorcycle Safety course varies by province. Without the
Motorcycle Safety Course, the chance of getting insurance for the motorcycle is very low.
The Canada Safety Council, a non-profit safety organisation, offers the Gearing Up program
across Canada and is endorsed by the Motorcycle and Moped Industry Council. Training course
graduates may qualify for reduced insurance premiums.

• Sport – the rider leans forward into the wind and the weight of the upper torso is supported
by the rider's core at low speed and air pressure at high speed. Thefoot pegs are below the
rider or to the rear. The reduced frontal area cuts wind resistance and allows higher speeds.
At low-speed in this position the rider's arms may bear some of the weight of the rider's
torso, which can be problematic.
• Standard – the rider sits upright or leans forward slightly. The feet are below the rider. These
are motorcycles that are not specialized to one task, so they do not excel in any particular
area. The standard posture is used with touring and commuting as well as dirt and dual-sport
bikes, and may offer advantages for beginners.
• Cruiser – the rider sits at a lower seat height with the upper torso upright or leaning slightly
rearward. Legs are extended forwards, sometimes out of reach of the regular controls on
cruiser pegs. The low seat height can be a consideration for new or short riders. Handlebars
tend to be high and wide. The emphasis is on comfort while compromising cornering ability
because of low ground clearance and the greater likelihood of scraping foot pegs, floor
boards, or other parts if turns are taken at the speeds other motorcycles can more readily
accomplish.
Factors of a motorcycle's ergonomic geometry that determine the seating posture include
the height, angle and location of foot pegs, seat and handlebars. Factors in a rider's physical
geometry that contribute to seating posture include torso, arm, thigh and leg length, and overall
rider height.

A motorcycle is broadly defined by law in most countries for the purposes of registration,
taxation and rider licensing as a powered two-wheel motor vehicle. Most countries distinguish
between mopeds of 49 cc and the more powerful, larger vehicles (scooters do not count as a
separate category). Many jurisdictions include some forms of three-wheeled cars as
motorcycles.
Environmental impact
Motorcycles and scooters' low fuel consumption has attracted interest in the United
States from environmentalists and those affected by increased fuel prices. Piaggio Group
Americas supported this interest with the launch of a "Vespanomics" website and platform,
claiming lower per-mile carbon emissions of 0.4 lb/mile (113 g/km) less than the average car, a
65% reduction, and better fuel economy.
United States Environmental Protection Agency 2007 certification result reports for all
vehicles versus on highway motorcycles (which also includes scooters), the average certified
emissions level for 12,327 vehicles tested was 0.734. The average "Nox+Co End-Of-Useful-
Life-Emissions" for 3,863 motorcycles tested was 0.8531. 54% of the tested 2007-model
motorcycles were equipped with a catalytic converter.

Throughout the 1980s the motorcycle industry gradually went from building a few basic
but versatile models designed to work well in many roles, to offering many more specialized
machines designed to excel in particular niches. These included racing and performance street
riding, touring, motocross racing, enduro and recreational off-road riding, and cruising) at the
start of the decade to a much larger set of offerings in several clearly defined markets at the end
of the decade.
The XV750 of 1981 featured an air-cooled V-twin four stroke engine and cruiser styling,
and was one of the first Japanese cruiser style motorcycles. By the end of the 1980s Yamaha
had offered dozens of cruisers styled bikes in a variety of displacements and engine
configurations.
The RZV500 was one of the first "repli-racers", a near copy of Kenny Roberts competition
GP bike, it featured a liquid-cooled two-stroke motor of 500cc displacement in a V4
configuration, along with a perimeter frame and full fairing.[9]
A more popular and practical high-performance model for the street was introduced in
1985, the FZ750. It was an innovative 750cc four-stroke inline four-cylinder model. It was the
first motorcycle to feature a five valve cylinder head, something Yamaha became well known
for. It also featured a cylinder block canted forward at 45 degrees, and a box-section steel
perimeter frame. Production of the FZ continued until 1991.

"I want to carry out trial manufacture of motorcycle engines." It was from these words
spoken by Genichi Kawakami (Yamaha Motor's first president) in 1953, that today's Yamaha
Motor Company was born.
Genichi Kawakami
Genichi Kawakami was the first son of Kaichi Kawakami, the third-generation president
of Nippon Gakki (musical instruments and electronics; presently Yamaha Corporation). Genichi
studied and graduated from Takachiho Higher Commercial School in March of 1934. In July of
1937, he was the second Kawakami to join the Nippon Gakki Company. He quickly rose to
positions of manager of the company's Tenryu Factory Company (musical instruments) and then
24
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Senior General Manager, before assuming the position of fourth-generation President in 1950
at the young age of 38.
In 1953, Genichi was looking for a way to make use of idle machining equipment that
had previously been used to make aircraft propellers. Looking back on the founding of Yamaha
Motor Company, Genichi had this to say "While the company was performing well and had
some financial leeway, I felt the need to look for our next area of business. So, I did some
research." He explored producing many products, including sewing machines, auto parts,
scooters, three-wheeled utility vehicles, and motorcycles. Market and competitive factors led
him to focus on the motorcycle market. Genichi actually visited the United States many times
during this period.
When asked about this decision, he said, "I had my research division chief and other
managers visit leading motorcycle factories around the country. They came back and told me
there was still plenty of opportunity, even if we were entering the market late. I didn't want to
be completely unprepared in this unfamiliar business so we toured to German factories before
setting out to build our first 125cc bike. I joined in this tour around Europe during which my
chief engineers learned how to build motorbikes. We did as much research as possible to insure
that we could build a bike as good as any out there. Once we had that confidence, we started
going."
"If you are going to make it, make it the very best there is." With these words as their
motto, the development team poured all their energies into building the first prototype, and ten
months later in August of 1954 the first model was complete. It was the Yamaha YA-1. The
bike was powered by an air-cooled, 2-stroke, single cylinder 125cc engine. Once finished, it
was put through an unprecedented 10,000 km endurance test to ensure that its quality was top-
class. This was destined to be the first crystallization of what has now become a long tradition
of Yamaha creativity and an inexhaustible spirit of challenge.
25
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Then, in January of 1955 the Hamakita Factory of Nippon Gakki was built and
production began on the YA-1. With confidence in the new direction that Genichi was taking,
Yamaha Motor Co. Ltd. was founded on July 1, 1955. Staffed by 274 enthusiastic employees,
the new motorcycle manufacturer built about 200 units per month.
That same year, Yamaha entered its new YA-1 in the two biggest race events in Japan.
They were the 3rd Mt. Fuji Ascent Race and the 1st Asama Highlands Race. In these debut races
Yamaha won the 125cc class and the following year the YA-1 won again in both the Light and
Ultra-light classes of the Asama Highlands Race.
By 1956, a second model was ready for production. This was the YC1, a 175cc single
cylinder two-stroke. In 1957 Yamaha began production of its first 250cc, two-stroke twin, the
YD1.
Based on Genichi's firm belief that a product isn't a product until it can hold its own
around the world, in 1958 Yamaha became the first Japanese maker to venture into the
international race arena. The result was an impressive 6th place in the Catalina Grand Prix race
in the USA. News of this achievement won immediate recognition for the high level of Yamaha
technology not only in Japan but among American race fans, as well. This was only the start,
however.
26
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Yamaha took quick action using the momentum gained in the USA and began marketing
their motorcycles through an independent distributor in California. In 1958, Cooper Motors
began selling the YD-1 250 and the MF-1 (50cc, two-stroke, single cylinder, step through street
bike). Then in 1960, Yamaha International Corporation began selling motorcycles in the USA
through dealers.
With the overseas experiences under his belt, in 1960, Genichi then turned his attention
to the Marine industry and the production of the first Yamaha boats and outboard motors. This
was the beginning of an aggressive expansion into new fields utilizing the new engines and FRP
(fiberglass reinforced plastic) technologies. The first watercraft model was the CAT-21,
followed by the RUN-13 and the P-7 123cc outboard motor.
Yamaha was building a strong reputation as a superior manufacturer which was reflected
in its first project carried out in the new Iwata, Japan Plant, built in 1966. (The YMC
headquarters was moved to Iwata in 1972.) Toyota and Yamaha teamed up to produce the highly
regarded Toyota 2000 GT sports car. This very limited-edition vehicle, still admired for its
performance and craftsmanship, created a sensation among enthusiast in Japan and abroad.
Genichi said, "I believe that the most important thing when building a product is to
always keep in mind the standpoint of the people who will use it." An example of the
27
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
commitment to "walking in the customers' shoes" was the move in 1966 by Yamaha to continue
its expansion. Overseas motorcycle manufacturing was established in Thailand and Mexico. In
1968, the globalization continued with Brazil and the Netherlands. With manufacturing bases,
distributors and R&D operations in a market, Yamaha could be involved in grassroots efforts to
build products that truly met the needs of each market by respecting and valuing the distinct
national sensibilities and customs of each country. Yamaha continues that tradition, today.
By the late 1960s, Yamaha had quality products that had proven themselves in the global
marketplace based on superior performance and innovation. Distribution and product diversity
were on the right track. But Genichi knew that beyond quality, success would demand more. He
had this view on the power of original ideas. "In the future, a company's future will hinge on
ideas over and above quality. Products that have no character, nothing unique about them, will
not sell no matter how well made or affordable and that would spell doom for any company."
He also knew that forward vision, walking hand in hand with original ideas, would create
an opportunity for the company and its customers that could mean years of happiness and
memorable experiences. Genichi said, "In the business world today, so many people are
obsessed with figures. They become fixated on the numbers of the minute and without them are
too afraid to do any real work. But in fact, every situation is in flux from moment to moment,
developing with a natural flow. Unless one reads that flow, it is impossible to start out in a new
field of business. "A real-world illustration of this belief is the Yamaha DT-1. The world's first
true off-road motorcycle debuted in 1968 to create an entirely new genre we know today as trail
bikes. The DT-1 made a huge impact on motorcycling in the USA because it was truly dirt
