AUTOMOTIVE LOVERS

Arguably, pertama sepeda motor tersebut dirancang dan dibangun oleh penemu Jerman Gottlieb Daimler dan Wilhelm Maybach in Bad Cannstatt (sejak 1905 sebuah kota kecamatan Stuttgart) pada 1885. Yang pertama minyak-powered dasarnya adalah sebuah kendaraan sepeda motorised, walaupun penemu penemuan mereka yang disebut Reitwagen ( "naik mobil"). However, if a two-wheeled vehicle with steam propulsion is considered a motorcycle, then the first one may have been American. Namun, jika sebuah kendaraan beroda dua dengan tenaga uap dianggap sepeda motor, maka yang pertama mungkin telah Amerika. One such machine was demonstrated at fairs and circuses in the eastern US in 1867, built by Sylvester Howard Roper of Roxbury, Massachusetts .

In 1894, Hildebrand & Wolfmüller became the first motorcycle available for purchase. In the early period of motorcycle history, many producers of bicycles adapted their designs to accommodate the new internal combustion engine . Pada tahun 1894, Hildebrand & Wolfmüller menjadi yang pertama tersedia untuk membeli sepeda motor. Di masa awal sejarah sepeda motor, banyak produsen sepeda disesuaikan dengan desain yang baru untuk mengakomodasi mesin pembakaran internal. As the engines became more powerful and designs outgrew the bicycle origins, the number of motorcycle producers increased. Karena mesin menjadi lebih kuat dan desain yang outgrew sepeda asal, jumlah produsen sepeda motor meningkat.

Until the First World War, the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world was Indian, producing over 20,000 bikes per year.[15] By 1920, this honour went to Harley-Davidson, with their motorcycles being sold by dealers in 67 countries. By the late 1920s or early 1930s, DKW took over as the largest manufacturer.

After the Second World War, the BSA Group became the largest producer of motorcycles in the world, producing up to 75,000 bikes per year in the 1950s.[citation needed] The German company NSU held the position of largest manufacturer from 1955 until the 1970s.[citation needed]

In the 1950s, streamlining began to play an increasing part in the development of racing motorcycles and the "dustbin fairing" held out the possibility of radical changes to motorcycle design. NSU and Moto-Guzzi were in the vanguard of this development both producing very radical designs well ahead of their time.NSU produced the most advanced design, but after the deaths of four NSU riders in the 1954–1956 seasons, they abandoned further development and quit Grand Prix motorcycle racing. Moto-Guzzi produced competitive race machines, and by 1957 nearly all the Grand Prix races were being won by streamlined machines.[citation needed] The following year, 1958, full enclosure fairings were banned from racing by the FIM in the light of the safety concerns.

From the 1960s through the 1990s, small two-stroke motorcycles were popular worldwide, partly as a result of East German Walter Kaaden's engine work in the 1950s.

Today, the motorcycle industry is mainly dominated by Japanese companies such as Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha, although Harley-Davidson and BMW continue to be popular and supply considerable markets. Other major manufacturers include Piaggio group of Italy, KTM, Triumph and Ducati.

In addition to the large capacity motorcycles, there is a large market in smaller capacity (less than 300 cc) motorcycles, mostly concentrated in Asian and African countries. An example is the 1958 Honda Super Cub, which went on to become the biggest selling vehicle of all time. Its 60 millionth unit produced in April 2008.Today, this area is dominated by mostly Indian companies with Hero Honda emerging as the world's largest manufacturer of two wheelers. For example, its Splendor model which has sold more than 8.5 million to date.

It has been produced in various generations till date. The vehicle basically falls under the category of luxury cars, though some of its variants are mid-sized while others are compact cars. The Toyota Camry vehicles produced during the period 1980 to 1996 fall under the category of compact cars and the models produced during after 1996 (till date), fall under the category of mid-sized cars.
The word Camry is derived from the Japanese word Kanmuri, which is synonymous to crown. During 1950s, this tradition started with the Toyota Camry and continued with the models like Corona and Corolla, whose meanings also belong to the Latin origin.

The Camry was released as a predecessor to the Toyota Corona. The vehicle is related to the models like the Toyota Camry Solara, Lexus ES, Lexus RX and the Toyota Sienna. The luxurious Toyota Camry was sold as Toyota Windom in Japan until 2006. The related model Lexus ES shares the major chassis and the components of drive train with the Camry.

Taking a close look at all the Camry models till date will help you in analyzing the differences and the improvements made in various generations. The latest 2010 Toyota Camry will feature the top notch luxury features, and will be made available as a mid-sized luxurious Sedan. The 2010 Camry wallpapers look quite promising, though not much is known about the minute tech specs at this point of time.

If you take a tour of Camry and other models in the line-up of Toyota, you'll see a striking similarity in the front appearance of all these models, though the other specs vary to a good extent.
