History of Honda motorcycles

Would you like to rent a Honda motorcycle? You are absolutely right to do so! Honda motorcycles are known by their fans as stylish, well-designed and user-friendly. The brand has a history of over 70 years and has the right bike for every type of motorcyclist. Honda has also built up a great history as a racing brand. Honda has achieved great successes in almost all branches of motorsport.

Honda was founded in 1946 by the Japanese Soichiro Honda. Honda was a businessman and racing enthusiast. He wanted to make affordable transport for the common man. In the 50s, the D-type Dream was a huge sales success in Japan. As early as 1959, the 250 cc C72 Dream was presented to the public in Amsterdam.

This made Honda the first Japanese motorcycle factory to export motorcycles to Europe. The first models were still copies of European and American motorcycles. Today, Honda is the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world.
