Honda Sells 300th million Motorcycle

There's a reason, take care of a Honda and it will run forever!

Damn true story. I had a Honda as a kid and rode it into the ground.

A guy bought the remains to build a generator and that engine is probably STILL running.

Honda makes the most dependable motorcycle. Ever.

They run forever, to bad the U.S. never cared to compete

That's because NOONE can compete with U.S. branded Arrogance! There's almost no room on Earth with our country's vast ego! lol Too bad that either one and the even the combination of the both of them can't help us Americans build something truly wonderful. Not bad at all for Honda though.

I wouldn't mind a nice XR650L enduro.

STILL spamming that blog on GLP every day for traffic I see.

Back in the '70s the hot ticket was the little Honda CB350.

Had a 305 Superhawk in 1970.

I had an '82 Nighthawk 750 that I sold last summer (still running). Not bad for 32 years old.

I dropped out of school and moved to an off shore island off of Puerto Rico


bought a 2009 250 Rebel and haven't had a boring day yet...things perfect for riding an island i'm only 5' 8'' thanks honda

Funny you mention that model....I've had one since 2003 and it was stolen last month......I loved that overweight pig of a bike...very reliable.

1982 cx500 TC TURBO

When I was a kid there were so many more motorcycles than there are now, I was actually thinking this the other day. I guess more people have cars now, or something.

Theres not a Honda i havent dropped in the grass.....

Am I the only one annoyed by this title? "300th million"?

Try "300 millionth".

Fuck.

I just bought a goldwing on Friday. I'm pretty happy with that purchase. Harleys are cool and all, but they will never be as reliable as a jap bike.

no...no..I think you ARE the only anal retentive douche in sight

My 1st bike was a Honda. Loved it..

"Achieving a milestone more than 65 years in the making, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today announced production of its 300-millionth motorcycle."

300-millionth motorcycle.

Read it and weep you illiterate twat.

Had an XR75...Then bumped up to a CR125. My last Honda was a '79 CR250R. Love them Honda's.

Forgot to login...Had an '86 Goldwing also.

So everyone loves Honda's products......why can't we follow suit and make our products the chosen ones, with great customer feedback?

The answer is we could. But we won't. The Japanese have been coming to America for decades to study all sorts of topics from metallurgy to electronics, and everything in between. They seem to have applied techniques that was once possessed by us and made it profitable, to which I say, good for you.

My issue is that this was fostered.

I want my stuff that I buy to be made here. But I had an American made Briggs and Stratton engine explode throwing a chunk of aluminum into my leg.......Made in America! BS! That engine was/is my bread and butter and Briggs tries to tell me I didn't oil it....

Known defects from outsourcing is ruining quality of what was once a proud nation that made the best stuff available.

I bought five of them.

You know:
all the designs honda sold during the 60's here in the US were actually designed before wwII, but things got a bit sidelined, finally the Rockefellers took control of Japan and we had nice products. From the little honda 50's to the 305's and 450's.

Personally I had a honda 50, 250 scrambler, 305 superhawk, little 50 mini bike, and XR 500 thumper.

Axe me anything, I had-um, I rode-um.

I think VW tops sales of any automobile with the Bug, 800 million in the 80's~90's.

one new one (cb650) and one used one (cb350) twin

300th million??

Is that like .000300th of a motorcycle?

Maybe they sold a small part like a valve stem cover?

Oh, you meant 300 millionth.

Never mind!
