The Petersen Museum’s New Motorcycle Exhibit Showcases a Century Of Innovation

It’s pretty wild to think about how far we’ve come when it comes to getting around. A little over a century ago, the idea of personal transportation was limited to horses, carriages, and maybe the occasional steam-powered contraption.

But fast forward to today, and we have high-performance motorcycles, electric hypercars, and even self-driving vehicles. The evolution of mobility is nothing short of incredible, and few machines showcase this transformation quite like the motorcycle, as they have a unique place in history.

From their humble beginnings as little more than bicycles with engines strapped to them, they have evolved into some of the most sophisticated and exhilarating machines on the planet. And if you’re a fan of two-wheeled history, there’s no better place to dive deep into its roots than the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
