WORLD'S FIRST MOTORCYCLE

My husband has always been a motorbike enthusiast and being married to him, I was always fascinated by bikes as well. Certain passions can be contagious! We had enjoyed the beautiful Bike show held in February (Concours d' Elegance) at Marina Crescent as a part of the 50-20-5 celebrations. The other day,  I wondered what would the world's first bike have looked like....and this is the result!
1885 'Reitwagon' wold's first motorcyle by Gottleib Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach 
 Here is another motorcyle that was produced some years later by H&W


1894/1895 Hildebrand and Wolfmuller Motorrad (motorcyle)  

Same as above

Same as above - perhaps an artist's impression of the original
