During World War II the motorcycle was used on a large scale. All warring nations presented their production to military Motorcycles. The American motorcycle industry, represented by Harley-Davidson and Indian, produced over 300,000 motorcycles, the British industry 425,000 motorcycles for the Allies. The most copied motorcycle in world: a DKW RT 125, 1939-1965 (bike tune up). The motorcycle was used in post-war period as a "cheaper car replacement". The motorcycles should be robust, reliable and simple in construction. The journalist Ernst Leverkus called corresponding models "Westerwald motorcycles" and led as examples of Ardi B 250, BMW R 24, NSU 251 OSL, Triumph BDG, Victoria KR.
In same year the brothers Werner in France developed a motorcycle with front wheel drive. With the technical innovation of spray nozzle carburetor, patented by Wilhelm Maybach in 1893, and the magneto ignition, a patent by Robert Bosch in 1901, the motorcycle was much easier to use. The development of motorcycle technology was coined until First World War only by European and American manufacturers in 1902 presented a Griffon Motorcycle with V-engine produces.
1904 FN introduced the four-cylinder engine and the propeller shaft before, and Indian the throttle. 1905 appeared first motorcycles with sprung front suspension. 1909, the two-stroke engine and the kick starter Scott was presented. Adalberto Garelli 1913 developed the double piston engine, a special design of two-stroke engine. 1914 Indian offered as standard to an electric starter and electric lighting.
Manufacturing motorcycles has used some technological innovations: In 1887, the French Millet motorcycle manufactures and sells a few copies of a motorcycle with a petrol engine 5-cylinder radial placed in rear wheel. In 1894, Hildebrand & Wolfmuller sells a motorcycle equipped with a horizontal twin-cylinder 1490 cc which has initial real sales network in history.
First company that was manufactured in USA motorcycles on an industrial scale Indian -. 1913 to 1917 the largest motorcycle manufacturer in world. In postwar period, Harley-Davidson became the largest motorcycle manufacturer in world; in Germany began with numerous companies of motorcycle production, including well-known names such as DKW (1922) and BMW (1923). In 1920s, the military except distribution of motorcycles with sidecar began.
In same year there were in Harley-Davidson first belt drive on primary and secondary side. In 1981, with the Honda CX 500, first production motorcycle with exhaust turbocharger before. In 1985, Suzuki with the GSX-R 750 first uncompromising derived from motor racing series motorcycle before and thus defined the class of super athletes.
In 1988 there were at BMW first antilock braking system for motorcycles as an option and 1992 first traction control at the Honda Pan European. In 1999, Suzuki with its Hayabusa 1300, first over 300 km / h fast production motorcycle before, in 2006 Piaggio with their MP3 first tricycle with swivel mechanism (Leaning Multi Wheeler), 2007 Honda inir Gold Wing a motorcycle airbag and 2014, the KTM AG in its 1190 Adventure the Motorcycle stability Control (MSC), an electronic stability control of Robert Bosch.
1920 presented Ernest Walker in Daytona on an Indian with 167.67 km / h first recognized by the FIM world speed record. Until 1937 the output was increased, inter alia, by charging motor to over 279.5 km / h (by Ernst Jakob Henne). Also, two-stroke engines were on the supercharged piston pump, a power improvement among others at DKW. "A (limited)" - limited, from the age of 18; max. 25 kW and not exceeding 0.16 kW / kg curb weight; after two years of ownership can be provided uncomplaining driving experience, will be topped with a practical examination in the unlimited class A.
