GT4494 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I remember in 1967 we lived in Japan and dad was very much into racing scrambles etc. The local motorcycle shop new him well. We were outside one day and heard a motorcycle go by. It had a sound to it that we had never heard before. The shop owner was out on a ride and stopped to talk. The bike was 100% black. No chrome no names. Turns out the bike was the kawasaki 3 cylinder two stroke in prototype and he had it for testing. The bike became known as the Mach 3 in the states when it was released two years later in 1969. . He actually let dad take it for a ride. When he came back I could tell that he was totally impressed and said no street bike to data had that kind of acceleration 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipedreams Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Daimler Reitwagen is widely considered as the world's first true motorcycle. Gottlieb Daimler is often referred to as “the father of the motorcycle” because of this invention and it was his son, Paul, who rode it for the first time in November 1885. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
