Cabin motorcycle
Appearance
A cabin motorcycle is a fully- or semi-enclosed motorcycle.[1] They first appeared in the 1920s.[1] In parts of Eastern Europe, they are known as dalniks.
Fully-enclosed non-production motorcycles used for land-speed record-breaking attempts, such as the NSU Delphin III, are known as streamliners.
