Motorcycle

A motorcycle (or motorbike) is a two-wheeled vehicle powered by an engine. The wheels are in-line, and at higher speed the motorcycle remains upright and stable by virtue of gyroscopic forces; at lower speeds repeated readjustment of the steering by the rider gives constancy. The rider sits astride the vehicle on a seat, with hands on a set of handlebars which are used to steer the motorcycle, in conjunction with the rider shifting his weight through his feet, which are supported on a set of "footpegs" or "pegs" which stick out from the frame

Nice informations, here let me add some more...
The inspiration for the earliest motorcycle was designed and built by the German inventors since 1905. In 1885The first petroleum-powered vehicle, it was essentially a motorized bicycle, although the inventors called their invention the Reitwagen "riding a car". Motorcycles are good vehicles, though it's dangerous to ride on it in a high speed rate.
