- Honda has had so many iconic models over the years from the Cub, CB750, Gold Wing, VFR800, Fireblade to the Africa Twin and Grom. In the interest of keeping the video a reasonable length I had to be judicious in choosing what to put in. Sorry if I left out your favourite part of this long story.

Thanks you for your comments! I do my best to keep up with them for the first few days after a video comes out, but due to the volume of comments on all of my videos, and to the general hustle and bustle of life, I must give up the fight after a while. If you are leaving a question four or more days after a video comes out I can't guarantee I'll see it, but perhaps one of my other viewers knows the answer and can help out. Thanks in advance to those who contribute and share their knowledge. Cheers and stay safe everyone!

You meet the nicest people on a Honda 🙋♂️
You made me fall in love with Honda all over again. I bought my first motorcycle 2 years ago,an all original 1976 Honda CB 550 with under 4,000 miles. I call it my birthday bike because 1976 is the year I was born. That wasn’t a coincidence,I was looking for a ‘76. I can walk out to my garage anytime of the day or night,turn the key,fire it up,and it will run down the road at an easy 100mph as smooth as silk. That’s just incredible to me! When I climbed off that bike after riding it for the first time,I thought “only an incredibly hard working,disciplined,humble and intelligent people could make a machine that runs this well after 45 years”. I also bought a new CRF 300L Rally this last fall that I couldn’t love more! Thanks for the video-big fan!👍
Friend of mine had one of those new out of the showroom, fantastic bike at the time.
Sounds like you're hooked...that's why I buy them....parts are still available for my 79 CBX and CB 750F. Other bikes are manufactured...Hondas are ENGINEERED!!!
Started on a Honda motorcycle. After riding a few different bikes I've realized, the Honda premium feel is real.
Big thank you to Sushiro, without him there would be no Honda Fire Blade in my house. Nice post 👍
The CBR600F changed the game completely in the 600cc market in the late eighties.
Or better: laid down the rules.
Some incredible 600 sports bikes saw the light because of it.
The CBR600F (1/2/3/4) was also immensely successful on track winning many races and championships - whilst using a steel tubes frame.
Nothing short of a legendary motorcycle!
I sure got a huge kick out of seeing those commercials with my red Super 90 from the early 1960s. You do meet the nicest people on a Honda, and I could get to work with 20 cents worth of gas.
Pretty cool how much Honda has done over time, I currently have one of their rare bikes that we only had in the states for a short period of time. A 1990 nx250
Cool bike! That's the spiritual predecessor to the 300L Rally.
That was fun seeing a young John Travolta delivering the mail on a Honda!
I have had many, worked on many more. I race a 1975 Cb750 turbo. Fully tuned Fury, to a stretched Blackbird... I've had a few, and all are amazing bikes! Leave you, and anyone watching speechless in their beauty, and ability. Great vid, thank you!
That was brilliant! I’ve seen much longer histories of Honda that didn’t do it as well as you did. Thanks. Somehow, probably sorcery, your visuals never distract from your text, and your text never distracts from the visuals.
Thank you! I appreciate that. I guess I have a talent in saying lots with few words :)
This is so true. It is a pure art to do it in just less than 15 min. Thumb up here. Drop by buddy.
Fantastic! More please! Was lucky enough to own a 1979 CBX 6 in the ‘80s. Boy I wish I still had that now. Love you to do more of these “history” pieces. Suzuki, Harley.. Can’t wait. 👍👍
Love the video and bikes. In the late 60’s and early 70’s kids started getting mini trail 50’s and 70’s. Everyone was hooked. Then if you were lucky enough to have an XR75 or the Yamaha yz80 you were top dog in the neighborhood. That’s the reason so many guys from 50 to 70 still ride when the younger generation really doesn’t care much for bikes. We grew up at the same time the big 4 were building bigger. I remember when a 750 was a monster. Anyway please keep the content coming!
Thanks for sharing! Yes, 750's are big bikes. I recently watched some vids of people riding CB750s and was surprised how much bigger they were than modern Fireblades. Had I been an adult back then that's what I would've been riding.
Grew up on a Honda Z50 and XR80. Decades later I have a Honda CRF300L (excellent dual sport) and a BMW GS.
750s are still monsters
Still have my 1961 Honda 50 Sport.
At 72 years of age, it's nice to keep this cute little Honda around.
This is why you’re one of the top motorcycle channels!
Wow, thanks! I appreciate that! Cheers!
Great quality and well-researched video, a pleasure to watch!!
Really enjoyed this, it was very well presented. Cheers
Interesting seeing Travolta in the commercial at the end….great video👍
This was amazing! Thank you!
This was unbelievably good! You really killed it, great job 👏 👏👏👏👏
The rebel line has been solid for Years and the Africa twin looks fun to ride
Easily your best video yet, truly inspiring. This has made me appreciate Honda so much more.
This was great entertainment, you do great work!
I have CB350-Four, XL350 and am working on resurrecting a 1971 Cb 175 twin.
Honda has made some amazing mid-sized bikes that had ten plus year runs around the world.
That's a great collection of classics. It's amazing how long those things last.
My 2021 Rebel 1100DCT is an engineering marvel.
This video took a lot of work and I really appreciate your efforts.
Yours is one of the TOP channels on UA-cam.
Thanks,
Eric in Kissimmee
Great piece of history.👍
Superb way to tell the history of this iconic company. Thanks!!
I got my first XL250 back in 1977 starting college. I am 64 now and returned two years ago, - after 40 - to enjoy raiding off road trips on a 650cc dual sport.
Greatings from Bolivia 🇧🇴
In my by now over 40 years with motorcycles the one that really stands out and is forever parked in my memory lane number 1 spot is my -92 VFR 750 RC36. When I took my license in 1974 the bike that had me salivating was the CB750. Could not afford one back then, so bought a used 100cc Kawasaki. I´ve had many bikes over the years and all but one (a Yamaha) have been either Honda or Kawasaki. Both make some of the best motorcycles in the world in my opinion, and my current ride is a 750cc Kawa that I bought in 2012. Now looking to substitute it, no other reason but want to try something new as a change. Many of the things you mention in this video are familiar, some even remembered. As a short history of Honda this was excellent, you have the gift of storytelling so please keep it up. And thank you for this one!
Great show! I never understood the history of Honda motorcycles. What an innovative company.
Great video! Well done. Really enjoy your content. Thankyou. From Cornwall, UK
Glad you like them! Cheers!
Super interesting story beautifully told, love it 👍
I own a 81’ CG125 and never thought about the history of Honda. Great video!
Such a fabulous video! So well written and narrated. Excellent job! ;)
Thank you so much!
I just bought my first motorcycle and its a honda shadow 600 from 1992, it runs perfect with 21000km on the clock. Love your content and hello from the Netherlands
Well done, and very informative.
Thank you for this trip down memory lane. Before I was aware of Honda's illustrious racing history up until that point, I learned of the brand when, in 1972, a classmate showed up at high school with the original 70cc Dax minimoto. He was 6' 3", and another classmate who was his passenger was 6' 1". It was the funniest thing to see, but, here, this little mini bike was
courageously, and without complaint, powering along with these two big guys on it, commuting back and forth to School, up until my final year of 1974, when we all graduated from Auto Mechanics Class. I was so impressed by it, that, my love of Hondas began from then on. Great memories!
Wow. There’s a lot of work in that and great to see my home country, Isle of Man, featured. I collected my first Honda today too, the crf300 rally which I ordered after your comparison with the Tenere. Thanks for such a great channel. Really relaxing style is a pleasure to watch. Cheers.
Thanks and congrats! You live in a beautiful place to ride a motorcycle. I'm sure you'll enjoy that bike a lot and make some great memories with it.
Hi from the UK. Back in 71 I bought a 1963 Honda CB72E, a 250cc twin. I loved that bike.
My first bike was a Honda 50 when I was in kindergarten. Followed by a Trail 70. Currently have an XR 50 that I bought for my son and am saving for my (fingers crossed) grandkids. I also have a Rebel and just purchased a CL500 Scrambler, both of which get more saddle time than my Sportster. Honda's last forever, are affordable, and are a blast to ride, though I must admit my EVO Harley Sportster has 40K miles with no major issues and has been fantastic too. Love seeing the history of the bikes in this video. Keep up the good work!
beautiful video, makes me proud owning a honda
Very good video. In fact you nailed it with doing it in less than 15 min. I woud say amazing. Thanks for sharing. Thumb up.
Another gem in the series, really enjoyed it. Honda will build whatever they choose to, but I wish they'd put the horn button back in the original place!
I had a CX 500 shadow horizontally oppesd 1981 v twin 500 cc shaft drive water cooled that was ultra reliable and I used it everyday to travel a 200 Kim round trip tp work and back home and did that for 7 years and covered over 250 thousand kilometres of highway and freeway traffic and it never had any problems with the reliability other than changing the oil and oil filter and spark plugs .It was astonishingly reliable sadly I sold it over 20 years ago, For the last 10 years I have been riding aST 1100 cc sports tourer V 4 shaft drive 1999 model that too is so smooth and powerful with huge torquey motor that can cruise all day at 80 mph two up all day without you feeling knackered , You are right Honda makes some memorable motorcycles as did other manufacturers ,
This was awesome!!! Please do other companies as well
I just dropped your name to buell motorcycles- i REALLY hope they get ahold of you because i think you would be a perfect match for talking about their history and even reviewing their product. Small enough to be honest, good enough to always keep it interesting, and getting big enough to make a difference.
Keep killing it bud.
My daily rider is STILL my factory stock 1982 Gold Wing Interstate.. 274,000 miles and still going strong and looking darn near show room new!!
Hi, great video which brought back many memories as I (we) studied Honda back in the seventies (mechanical engineering) in College. I had been riding since 1968 and lived the "Golden Age" of Japanese motorcycling. If you update or make a part 2 of the "History of Honda Motorcycles", may I suggest spending more time of some of the milestone bikes that Honda produced such as the 50/70/90cc Cub line (the meet the nicest people on a Honda fame), the CT 50/70/90 Trail bikes, the CB 350 twin, of course, you nicely covered the CB-750 Four which revolutionized the "big bike" industry forever and launched the competition with the Suzuki GT 750 water cooled, the Kawasaki H2 Mach IV and the Z-1 900, and the venerable Yamaha XS-650. Another leap was the introduction of the Gold Wing 1000 followed by the Honda Line bells and whistle (matching fairing and bags), the CX 500/650/Turbo bikes and their Silver Wing variants, the CB 900/1000 Customs with twin transmissions, the six-cylinder inline CBX 1000, the Elsinores, the dual-purpose on/off road bikes, the "Cafe racers", the Rebels, the Shadows, the Magnas... In the domain of innovation and reliability Honda had an unbelievable record. I visited the main motorcycle company in Japan in the nineties - their R&D department (their own "Skunk Works") was "out of this world" with assembly workers dressed in white or light blue, clean, polite and "polished". I did over 102,000 miles on my 1972 CB-750 Four, never to open the engine other than a valve cover gasket change, batteries, brakes, clutch cable and tires. The bike never let me down over a ten year period! I replaced her with a 1983 CB-1000 Custom that I have to this day (along with other vintage Hondas). Thank you again for this documentary, Ciao, L (still riding Hondas).
I remember the Honda commercial showing pictures of everything they produced and at the end a person said, "And you thought we only made cars." I used to respond by saying, "No, I thought you only made 4 wheelers." Thats because the nearest highway to us was hundreds of miles away and the roads were short and not paved.
Yamaha was my first bike, back in mid-80s. throughout the years, I was fortunate enough to experience the quality of Suzuki and Honda as well. They all make reliable engines. I just can't say that one is better than the other. Currently own a CB500F just to beat the CA traffic.
Great video. I know and appreciate the amount of work this takes to make. Almost bought one of my dream bikes a year ago. A old Honda CB 450. Still wish I got it.
Thanks for noticing! Yes, that one took some serious research. Those old CBs are hard to come by and expensive because everyone is making cafe racers out of them.
@@DifferentSpokesTV was a 1972 I think for 2500 in Hamilton. Looked great.
Ever watch Scotty Kilmer? He makes videos like this as well. His Toyota one was fantastic.
Love my Honda motorcycle. 2019 NC750X in blue.
Nice! I don't know if I ever saw a blue one.
Great video brother but the Rune deserves more love in this video. As a proud owner of one, I am yet to come across something so wild and ahead of it's time.
I spy John Travolta in the old TV ad near the end. Great video.
Great content! Honda should sponsor this! Or at least tag/link it on their website!
Thanks! Maybe I'll sent it to Honda USA.
I started my two wheeled addiction at the age of 15 on my brother's cr250 and that bike put the fear of God into me, but this bike have me an incredible sense of speed with no barriers except money and skill. Ten years later I bought an 83' cb550 twin cam nighthawk and that really cemented the two wheeled fever.
Thank you big red.
My 1st bike was a Honda CT 70 I got in the 1970's I been riding ever since.
That’s a lot of bike I have an 03 I love my cr . Ahead of it’s time
Excellent video!!! I’ve been a Honda fanboy since my first sl125 back in 1973…….currently have an nc700x and a cr250l……hell, I’d have one of everything Honda makes if I had the money and space!!
Great production with a good balance of detail vs run-time. Being a teenager in the early '70's, I got to experience the Honda 'Boom' as it happened. I've owned various models, including the CB750 (1971, which I still have), the Gold Wing (1981), Valkyrie (1999 Interstate, with over 135K mi and climbing), and a CB1100 (2014 DLX) - among many others. I've owned and worked on a few other brands, but I appreciate the engineering of Honda and am always drawn to them over anything else available.
This is a great video. I rode a 1974 CB750 for about 20 years, and loved that reliable powerful ride. Arthritis in my wrist and hip joints made me stop riding until a 2017 hip replacement. I then discovered the CTX700 with DCT. I'm now 5 years into another Honda dream bike. I love this bike, and was so disappointed Honda did not continue and upgrade it. The CTX 700 online forum has a loyal, helpful, and fun clientele. It is the perfect bike for so many of us. Take care.👍🏾
Thanks for the great comment. Funny you should mention your arthritis because my wife has arthritis in her left hand which is why she’s trading in her CRF300L Rally for a Trail 125 because the Trail has no clutch. It’s cool that Honda offers bikes which keep you riding despite these issues and I’m glad you found your perfect machine. If you’re ever looking to replace it I have a review of the new Rebel 1100T DCT on my channel which I suppose is the latest clutch less cruiser from Honda. Take care and happy riding.
My favourite Honda was the CX500 although I only owned it for 2 years.
I love my NC750X but really wish it was shaft driven as well. I never cease to be amazed that the majority of bikers insist on chain drive.
CX 500 C was my first adult bike and I loved that thing but my favorite was CX 650 Euro, never imported to USA.
Seems like a reasonable service cost for that motorcycle. Thanks for sharing this with us!
had a 1970 750! was a great machine..
Wow, you had one of the first ones! Best bike of the era.
Honda..best of best ❤.thank you mr.suchiro honda
I have owned a more than a few of those bikes pictured in this video. It was cool seeing John Travolta in the 70s commercial as the mail courier. Trivia, he was riding an MT250, a two stroke dual purpose bike that was based on the Elsinore motor crossers. This was a very well done brief video that did a great job of capturing Honda’s history.
Thanks! Yes, I wanted to keep it brief but put in the Travolta clip as an Easter Egg. It was funny to see him when he was just starting out. I'm glad this took you down memory lane.
Great video! I bleed orange and black, but I grew up on Honda 3 wheelers and 4 wheelers. Honda is awesome 👍
The world needs a 2023 CBR1400XX.... really, it does!! Pretty please? 🤞
Nice video! Glad to see the tribute the the X bikes, and pre-X bikes!
I'm trying to collect the whole set...😁
had a Honda cub - still my fav bike.
I like piston rings, and happen to own a 1978 Honda motorcycle, and it still runs after all these years.
My favorite is that one in my dream, and my dream now is a DCT África Twin
Nice to have bike that won't stall out on the steep uphills.
Aw man....you ALMOST made it through an entire video without mentioning HD. Almost. :)
Thanks! 👍😃
No problem!
I had the Honda 450 Double Overhead Cam Twin, it would just rev and rev. It had Electric Start, and never leaked a drop of oil. This was amazing as I had come from a 650 BSA, no electric start, leaked oil from every point, and was no where near as fast as the Honda.
Excellent recap, new riders need this education from time to time and you did a top job, well done man. I wonder why Honda hasn't funded worldwide consumer reports to flaunt the reliability of their bikes? I think it's still a selling point. Maybe they're too busy raking it in regardless.
I started on a z50 when I was 7. Always loved Honda's
Great video! I've actually seen some reports of dissapointing finish quality on the africa twin and the cb1000r recently, hope it's just a blip!
*Also, with congestion and overcrowding being worse than ever in many places, perhaps it's time for a resurgance in pushing motorcycles as viable modes of transport rather than being just for bikers
My first honda was a 81 CB750 Custom. It is still one of the best street bikes I have owned. I am currently restoring a 75 CB125A2. Hoping one day to have a 1970s CB175 or CB200.
I own CB350:) What a bike !
Great video. Ive mostly had Harley´s and i had a Honda VFR800 2001 mod and ill freely admit the Honda was a better made bike than my Harley´s and simply bomb proof. Great engine and didnt really have any negative points. I really love the VFR´s.
Decided to sell it as i found myself riding too often over the speed limit and it would just be a question of time when my licence would get clipped.
Thanks for the comment. Yes, I had a Honda F4 600 and sold it for the same reason. I got a ticket on the second last day I owned it.
Great video!!! The original Valkyrie! Maybe do a video on why Honda stopped production of the bike (original model styling), It's a mystery in the motorcycling world.
Bring back the CM400 Hondamatics please! Those were just the perfect mix of "cool and flashy" with all the chrome and "meet the nicest people on a honda" around 30 hp, 20mph slower than its rivals, cluchless semi-automatic transmision and begginer-friendliness. It's like a perfect parade/fashion bike. Looks cool without breaking your neck.
I am and have always been a Honda guy! 84 CR125R, 91 CR125R, 83 Goldwing, to my current 2011 CBF1000fa.... Sure, I have had a smattering of different bikes from different brands in between as well, but they were purchased more out of convenience rather than 'want'. Hopefully they bring the NT1100 to NA...would love to throw a leg over it and compare to a new Wing before selecting my next bike!
Yes they have done very well indeed. Perhaps some good timing is also true. Coming to the U.S. just as the baby boomers were coming of age with disposal income. Building four strokes when the environmental regulations doomed the two stroke competition. Building factories in the U.S. so the impact of those 1980 tariffs were minimized was smart.
Having grown up during Honda's rise in the 1960s it wasn't there advertising that changed the publics opinion of motorcycles but it was their kids buying the bikes.
Honda's reputation for quality was well earned and deserved, however their slip in beginning to show over the last few years on some models. In the last 5 years customer complaints have largely been ignored by Honda dealers or Honda themselves according to the NHTSA.
In truth Honda pricing is now a little higher than the quality in my opinion, not bad but on average middle of the road. Many jewels still in Honda's line-up but some ordinary ones too.
Yeah, I love several of their models but in several instances it seems that you're paying for the name. Hopefully it's not a trend. They definitely have some premium products but I hope it's not going to their heads.
@@DifferentSpokesTV I believe they will be fine and get back on track. I try hard to be fair with companies with good and not so good reputations, obviously companies can move up or down over time.
I always thought the Honda MB5 was an incredibly interesting design for a bike. The fuel tank is really cool, it has a forward storage bay where the oil injector is
I use to have a cb750 and a 750 supersport I'm now riding a gold wing. Love my Honda's wish I could get my hands on that old Honda D.
Honda and me go back to 1967. It’s been a great ride. When somebody says Honda, I instantly think of a motorcycle and how dead dependable they have always been. Always started on the first or second kick.
I have a crf250f and it is awesome
I had a old Honda I was fixing up it was a nice cruiser very comfortable. I was working on getting a rebuild title for it. I forgot the year and model only thing I remember it said 440-four on the side of it
BEST Bike i Ever Had!
Was my 1988 MAGNA V45/750/4cyl.
Definitely miss THE MAGNA! THANKS!
Rode a rebel250 for years until I found a nice, low mile vt500ft. Love the thing! I've also got an 81 goldwing that I'm trying to sell ATM
Another great video, you've earned a sub. 👏🇳🇱NL, Transalp 650V with many mods. Former C70 owner, that little moped never let me down either.
Honda kopen, altijd lopen (buy Honda, it will allways run).
The XR and XL's were some of the best bikes ever made.
Same. I want a CRF 450 L Rally, With long service intervals, a big tank and tubeless spoke wheels. But I doubt we would get something like that ever.
Love my 2021 ADV 150 scooter ‼️❤️
I for one, would absolutely love to own a VFR with both gear driven cams and fuel injection. People tend to hold onto those, and I can't blame them.
Nice review, congrats! Keep up please! Personally I am a Honda fan, unfortunately they stop to develop the sport-tourer line I like (CBR1100XX); I got a VFR1200 but the engine broke after 86000 km (seems that was a production issue with oil channels inside the engine) but they stop the production of that bike anyway. Afterward I got for a while a VFR800, but it lacks the performance I needed actually. Now I own a Kawa ZZR1400, and I am happy with (still is the last dinosaur, at least in Europe). So I am still waiting for Honda to reinvent the sport tourer category somehow, other manufacturers had maintain the line (Kawa H2 SX, Suzuki Hayabusa, GSX-S1000GT). Yes, I realized that this is not the new trend of evolution, as many manufacturers going to push the adventure and naked bike for more power, as probably this is the need of the younger target population (most bikers are between 30 and 50 years old), but I hope that I wouldn't be forced to change my bike-category and sooner or later I would find another Honda meet my expectations. Cheers.
I have a 2016 Africa twin and I love the bike I've always had Honda motorcycles I have had the V65 and and the Xl500 xr 600
I think it would be cool if Honda did a an updated Shadow with the Hornet motor and bring back the Blackbird too! Blackbird was the first bike I fell in love with.
I'm getting a new Red Honda SH125i 2021 Glasgow Honda in 2 months time 😁 my big brother got one,
That made me go for new sh125i 😀
I can't wait,
I'm like a wee (little) kid waiting for Christmas 😂🤣😂
Kind regards

Have 2017 Africa Twin and 2021 CRF300L. What would I like to see? Smaller and lighter Africa Twin, maybe 500 or 600 cc weighing 400LBS or less. Please!
I own a VTX 1300C. Now, while it is laughable that they came out with the 1800 first and then the 1300, somewhat taking away from the "extreme" branding in the VTX badge, the bike is still pretty cool and very pretty. Every time I post a picture of it on IG, it always gets a huge amount of likes.
Just a nice 125cc with retro looks!
Which Honda do you choose? Well there are 5 in the garage. Ruckus, VF500F V4 favorite, CRF250L Rally, Africa Twin DCT and the boss VTX1800T. First motorcycle was a Honda Super Cub, followed by a 160 Dream, 305 Super Hawk that was probably the only Honda chopper in the Philippines that led to the previous list. On the VF500F, find a long straight road, lay down on the tank and put your feet on the passenger pegs. It's flying close to the ground, but watch for deer. I'd buy that little red and white Cub, but I have acquired the need for speed.
