Dirt bikes are also known as off-road bikes. They are designed specifically for riding off the paved road. Many people enjoy them. Let's take a closer look at these amazing motorcycles.

In the 1800s all motorcycles were really dirt bikes.  That's when motorcycles first came into use.  Roads weren't paved.  So by the strictest sense of the phrase, everyone was riding off-road.  Originally, motorcycle races took place on dirt paths shaped like ovals.  So in a sense motocross and off road racing were there from the earliest days.

Officially dirt bikes began in the United States in 1959. That's when a man by the name of Honda opened up a tiny bike shop in Los Angeles, California. At that time the reputation of bikers was as outlaws. No self-respecting person would ride a motorcycle. There was no such thing as [+]
