How was motorcycle development in American different from overseas?  Overseas, motorcycle development was even greater than in the United States.  The steam power development there preceded parallel development in the United States by nearly two decades.  That is no surprise, since high technology research at the time was done in Europe.  Also, due to the need for affordable public transportation, The United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy all had a love for the motorcycle.  “The bicycle had been in production in Europe since the 1870’s, hundreds of manufacturers produced them”.
