One of the world’s first motorcycles from 1899 goes on auction

One of the world’s first motorcycles from 1899 goes on auction: Wrik Sen: We have previously shown you in great documented detail about the great cars from yester years, which were aggressively sought after by collectors and fans alike. A similar wave of affection also seems to exist for 2-wheelers as well, whereby the earliest renditions garner attention from collectors of these vehicles who have a soft corner for the nostalgia and history they bring along. Our past writings on such events include the vintage BMW bike sale, and also the 1894 Roper Steam Motorcycle which changed hands in Las Vegas in 2011. Now an 1899 Motor-Wheel with Singer Bicycle frame is up for auction through Bonhams, and is expected to fetch $34,154 (£21,000).
