There was a steam powered, two wheeled vehicle that was demonstrated at fairs and circuses in 1867 in the eastern United States. Modern motorcycles consist of a chassis, an engine, a transmission, wheels and tires, brake system, suspension coils, instruments to gage speed, distance and other important variables.
