Motocross History

There has not been a great deal of historical research about motocross. Most motorcycle historians accept that motocross originated somewhere in France.

Motocross was originally called scrambling in the UK.

The earliest motorcycles were little more than bicycles with small internal combustion engines attached. The most common types of events were track races, endurance trials, and hill climbs.

During the 1930s, motorcycle racing became enormously popular in Great Britain.

In the late 1960's, the European masters of motocross began to export their talents and technology to North America.

Today, the AMA U.S. Motocross and Supercross Championships are the nation's best-attended motorsport on dirt.

Major Motocross Machines

The most common distinction between motocross machines is whether they have two-stroke or four-stroke engines. Originally all bikes were four-stroke (in the Pre-65 era), but as the two-stroke engine improved they became more popular with their domination of the sport in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. The two-stroke engine produced more power than a four-stroke engine of the same capacity (cc), however fuel had to be mixed with oil. Four-stroke continued to be raced in specialist classes throughout this period, partially in the MX3.
