Abstract

A motorcycle is described which has a driving device including an internal-combustion engine and a transmission which is driven by the engine and has several shifting positions. A starting device for the internal-combustion engine includes an electric motor as the starter motor, and a power transmission arrangement which transmits the driving force to a rear wheel. A reversing system uses the electric motor as the driving motor which drives the power transmission arrangement for the reversing. A selecting device at the motorcycle can be manually operated by a driver by way of an operating element, which selecting device connects either the driving device or the reversing system with the power transmission arrangement, the operating element being mounted on a housing for the transmission.
