Can You Name These Motorcycle Parts From an Image?

Motorcycles have been racing down the highways for over a century, with their origins tracing back to the late 1800s in Europe. The Daimler Reitwagen, an old-fashioned wooden contraption, is recognized as the first motorcycle, created in 1885. It’s fascinating to contrast that early design, featuring spoked wooden wheels, with contemporary models like Harley-Davidson or Honda. Although the fundamental mechanics remain consistent, the advancements are remarkable. Today’s motorcycles offer space for a passenger on a pillion or in a sidecar, equipped with keyless ignitions, shiny exhaust pipes, and mufflers. Some even boast large windscreens, crash bars, and stylish fairings for an eye-catching look.

If you've spent years cruising on a motorcycle—whether it's a classic like a Harley-Davidson or Indian, or a sleek model from Yamaha or Honda, or even luxury brands like BMW or Ducati—you should be familiar with the anatomy of a bike. If you can differentiate a clutch from a choke and a throttle from a petcock valve, now’s your chance to put your knowledge to the test. Hit the open road and take the quiz!
