"The first person to make a motorcycle was German engineer Gottlieb Daimler in 1885, when he installed a four-stroke piston engine on a wooden bicycle frame. Work continued to develop motorcycles in the early twentieth century, where they were developed into useful vehicles. Current motorcycles have a shape similar to the general shape of the first types, but they are easier to use, have more durable structures, more powerful engines, and more efficient brakes.
Daimler’s assistant in making this motorcycle was Wilhelm Maybach, who was busy at the time inventing the carburetor. Daimler equipped the motorcycle with a single-cylinder petrol engine, which is considered the world’s first petrol-powered vehicle. After that, British manufacturers dominated the motorcycle markets until the Japanese led by Honda dominated the scene in the late sixties and early seventies through their rapid and cheap production.
However, if you describe a steam-powered two-wheeled vehicle as a motorcycle, it means that the world’s first motorcycle appeared in the United States in 1867 at exhibitions and circus rings and was made by Sylvester Howard Roper.
The first real success in manufacturing motorcycles was in 1894 through the Heilbronn Andolghmor motorcycle in Munich, Germany. That bike carried a twin-cylinder engine mounted under the frame and equipped with a water cooler and water tank at the top of the rear fender."
