Learn More About The Motorcycle Drawing

Motorcycles are two-wheeled (or sometimes three-wheeled) vehicles propelled by an engine. A motorcycle is basically a self-propelled bicycle.

The first motorcycle was built in 1884. Motorcycles are also known as motorbikes or mopeds. Categories or types include racing bikes, superbikes, touring bikes, road bikes, trail bikes, and child bikes.

Did you know? Motorcycle races have been held since at least 1907 when the Tourist Trophy motorcycle races were held to test the endurance of bikes produced by different manufacturers.

Since then, motorcycle sports has grown to encompass trick riding and motocross, a competition that involves stunts and rough terrain.

Since their conception, motorcycles have been a part of popular culture. Mopeds are often used to represent carefree European holidays.

Large bikes like Harley Davidson motorcycles are synonymous with tough biker gangs. Fictional motorcycles include Batman's Batpod, the Tron light cycle, the biker gangs from the anime film Akira, and the sidecar motorcycle used by Wallace and Gromit.
