No. It's the micro chip. Every facet of people's lives worldwide has been affected by this technology.

you add up the figures

bikes or scooters  in china Asia especially Indonesia  

Africa  not so much the western world 

i bet the numbers would outweigh 

everything else

Motorcycle sales vs computer sales - - you would be wrong by a long long shot...

if you want to say that it was the invention of the transistor semiconductor by Texas Instruments which led to everything else.

Or could easily be said the worst invention ever. Death machines the world over.

The topic is, would the small motorbike be best invention past 50yrs. 

My comment was obviously in disagreement with that. How can anything g that kills so many be good. As for you attempt at black humour well enough said.

 

Why post on the motorcycle forum ? We must all be nuts to ride these death traps. Me - 50 years next year. And I'm still kicking. Hence - your post is Hogwash.

The health & safety brigade are everywhere with there tunnel vision. :biggrin:

Suppose the most iconic m/cycle is/was the Honda 50 which showed up in the 1950's. Not a scooter either, had big diameter wheels....

 

As for road casualties via modern day scooters, perhaps they are too powerful for what they are..

Motor-powered bikes have a great history.  :thumbsup:

No doubt the small bike/ scooter was a great invention. But I'd say many medical & technology inventions would be far ahead of the bike.

If no motor bike invented we could still walk, ride a horse or a bicycle or drive a car. Life as we know it would be much the worse if no medical & technological breakthroughs.

But hey, just my opinion.

If not its pretty close.

What about the computer and microwave oven? Passenger Jet?

Maybe using projected hindsight in 20 years time we might say 3D printers or electric bicycle.
