Honda Motor Company's founder Soichiro Honda was an avid motorcycle racer, who built his Honda motorcycles to be economically-friendly with innovative engines and unparalleled speed.
Founded in 1948, Honda had become the largest motorcycle producer in the world by the 1970s. The company currently maintains this title by building more than 14 million internal combustion engines each year, many of which are geared toward powering the many of models of Honda motorcycles.
Soichiro Honda began creating Honda motorcycles after World War II in an attempt to rebuild Japan's decimated economy. With the country starved for money and fuel, Honda motorcycles produced a cheap and efficient mode of transportation.
Today, Honda motorcycles have garnered a global following. In America alone, more than 600,000 riders are Honda Rider's Club members. With reliable Honda motorcycle parts and stylish Honda motorcycle accessories, company executives say Honda expects to continue spearheading the quest to help reduce the demand for fossil fuels and slow global warming.
Honda Gold Wing motorcycles are the company's prime example for combining environmental friendliness with efficient design and competitive performance. These touring motorcycles first arrived on the market in 1975, and continue to make advancements in the motorcycle industry.
Honda Gold Wing motorcycles became an instant success because they were one of the first types of motorcycles to have a fuel pump, a shaft drive and the transmission located underneath the engine. Today's Honda Gold Wing motorcycles contain satellite-linked navigation features, cold-weather comfort packages and the industry's first motorcycle airbag. The American Gold Wing Association, which was created in 1983, links tour bike fans in the United States, Canada and Europe.
Honda Gold Wing motorcycles are not the only models to cause consumer frenzy; classic Honda motorcycles, such as the 1959 Honda C100 Super Cub, helped build the Honda empire within the United States. Selling more than 30 million units, the Super Cub is the best-selling vehicle in history. This inexpensive, lightweight mode of transportation helped classic Honda motorcycles set a new transportation standard for energy efficiency.
While Honda motorcycles can cost nearly $40,000 for a new Gold Wing 1800, used Honda motorcycles of this same year and model cost between $20,000 and $30,000. However, original Gold Wing 1000 models should cost as low as $2,000 when bought used.
