Motorcycles were first developed in 1885 when the new internal combustion engine was launched for industrial production. Motorcycles were petrol driven adaptation of the regular cycle. A small petrol run engine was installed on it that was capable of cruising up to a speed of 20 miles per hour. As their development progressed, motorcycles began to be built as large and bulky machines that were capable of carrying large loads. It became possible to achieve speeds up to 50 miles per hour, which in those days was unheard of.
Motorcycles are used primarily as a mode of cost economic transportation. Improved manufacturing and designing concept of motorcycles has improved their looks and reliability. Designs of motorcycles have come a long way from being large and bulky. Sleek and lightweight super bikes are now in vogue. Motorcycles are available in a wide range of models and of different types.
Kit Motorcycle is more like a do it yourself piece of gadgetry. A kit Motorcycle is a motor Motorcycle that is built by an individual instead of a manufacturer or any company. Kit motorcycles need to be registered and a certain amount of paperwork needs to be submitted for a mandatory pre-registration inspection. This is a norm laid down and governed by the state DMV. It needs to be followed as each kit Motorcycle has to be registered for a valid license.
Paperwork that needs to be submitted is important and it includes Inspection of the Kit Motorcycle for roadworthiness. A state-assigned Vehicle Identification Number, also called the V.I.N., is allotted. Motorcycles kit owners must complete both stages of this inspection to be registered.
Motorcycles kits allow users to custom build motorcycles. Beginners may not be able to match the artistry of professional custom bike builders. Basic equipment is required to begin working with a kit motorcycle. Motorcycle kits can be put together with a few fundamental tools as long as they are of fine quality. Some mandatory tools for making motorcycles are a torque wrench and a basic lift.
