1. Iron

Metal which is one of the basic elements of the Chemistry of Iron, Iron is the only option that could be developed in the early era begins Motorcycles, Namely 19th century ago. . . Not that there was no option other metals, other metals just not as popular as it is now, What existing technology was not support for the application of die-casting (metal printing) advanced as it is today.

One example of the use of iron as a Motorcycle Metal Material is a major constituent Michaux-Perreaux Steam Velocipede, Motor "Hyper" Steam-engine alerts 186.

At the beginning of its use, the Engineer vying for sketching the layout design of the frame (chassis), Machinery, Iron And Petrol tank use. Furthermore, growing up to the "Machine Engineer" is able to create a Multi Cylinder Engine, Plus vying to make Motor (Made Raw Iron) which has a very high level of resistance machines

Iron yore not only used as a main ingredient manufacture of frame and chassis, but also up to the engine. Abundant amount of metal (especially in Indonesia), Ease in the process of casting, As well as supporting technology is the reason why Motor Antiquity still using iron as the principal material.

The use of mixed steel manifold Technology Metals (Steel-Alloy) in motorcycling in the early 20th century era, As well as marking the beginning of the use of steel in the motorcycle industry is more advanced, Leaving Iron which has a much heavier weight
