[QUOTE="BBB, post: 79183, member: 16015"] I have done lots of research on this, and I realize DeCarbon did alot of work on this design in the early 70s, but best I can find, the first monoshock bike was a Scorpion. [b]Scorpion 1951-56 (and 1963-65?) - offroad machines. Scott Founded by Alfred Angas Scott, who patented an early form of caliper brakes in 1897, a fully triangulated frame, rotary induction valves, unit construction and more. He patented his first engine in 1904. Started production in 1908 with patented triangulated frame and vertical-twin two-stroke. Very innovative company created the first kickstart, monoshock rear ends, efficient radiators and rotary inlet valves. They offered drip-feed lubricators and centrestands in 1914, as well as designing unit-construction engines, friction-band clutch and twin pannier gas tanks.
