The invention is ascribed to Karl Drais who invented in 1817 a running machine as a substitute to horses. Motorcycles in industrial standard were first produced by Indian in the USA. With the technical improvements, syringe nozzle carburetor (patent of Wilhelm Maybach, 1893) and the magnet ignition (patent of Robert Bosch 1901) became the motorcycle really mobile.

 Till WWI, Indian was the largest motorcycle factory worldwide. After the war Harley Davidson took this position and gave it 1928 to DKW which passed it to NSU after WWII.

 Since 1970 until nowadays, Honda is the No 1 in producing and distributing motorcycles all over the world. The most successful Motorcycle ever constructed by Honda was the Mini " Honda Cub" in 1950 of which they produced far more than 40 million bikes .

 

 

 

 

Custombikes constructed to the compftabilaty (or not) and needs of the owner.

A Custombike can be constructed out of purchased Parts, which you can find now in many retail stores or even out of selfmachined components to give the bike a unique touch. The most common and also easier way is rebuilding and customizing series bikes. Typical representatives for Custombikes being based on series motorcycles are Streetfighter, cafe Racer or also Ratbikes, classic Chopper, Bobber, Board Tracker and similar styles. Meanwhile there are even so named "Bike Kits " that you can actually assemble per cataloque.  

As a Streetfighter, one designates a motorcycle especially rebuilt to this, as well as also its driver who fall both mostly by a martial, aggressive image into the eye. The name Streetfighter was used nominally cheek for this motorcycle category first in Great Britain by the Custom magazine at that time street Heroes, taken up of the periodical Streetfighters, that made the name well known and strongly stamped the scene through it. Modern Streetfighter develop follows instead (with different focal point) in about how: Often Bikes with disguise damage are used, sometimes however also new vehicles with which the disguise is removed for the reconstruction. It is goal of the current Streetfighter scene too most to construct an unusual, individual motorcycle out of most varied parts.

 

 

 

 

Cafe Racer is the label for a motorcycle optical and technically changed after certain criteria. It got its name from the legendary Ace cafe in London where the bikerscene of the 60th met .

The motorcycle was always present and individually was changed and rebuilt after all rules of the art. What came out at the end of the reconstruction , was designated as a cafe Racer. Deeply ducked machines with M handlebars and open silencers became "beautify" to  

Chopper was superfluously appear original from about 1948 in California (mostly Harley Davidson).

 

The goal was to chop all useless staff of a series bike. Choopers are found in wide variety of building styles like lowrider, bobber, custom chopper. The Chopper is still the most popular Type of bike which is customized by most companies or individuals.

I personally like them at most, since the variety of customizing possibilities is the biggest among all types of bikes .

Also for the bikers among you who are not that handy, there are tons of possibilities to create your own dream chopper. A great variety of Custom parts for a specific motorcycle series are available throughout the internet or your local dealer. We put some links below. Or customize your own bike on paper and PC and a professional build it for you. In the end we think also if the skills of individuals are not that great, at least give it a shot to do it on your own, it's a hell of fun.
