What did the first motorcycle look like?

The first motorcycle was invented by German engineers Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in 1885. It was a wooden frame with a gasoline-powered internal combustion engine. The engine was mounted on the back of the frame, and a belt drove the rear wheel. The motorcycle had two wheels and a seat for the rider. It had no brakes or suspension. The first motorcycle was not very practical, but it was the forerunner of the modern motorcycle.
