Japanese public multinational corporation - Honda, has been the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer since 1959 when it broke out of the Japanese motorcycle market and began exporting to the U.S. and the rest of the world. The motorcycle brand has changed the prevailing stereotypes of motorcyclists at the time and established the idea that motorcycles are made for everyone who enjoys the open road on two wheels. Today, no motorcycle manufacturer offers a broader range of products than the Tokyo-based company. It is known as one of the technological leaders in the two-wheeled world, much of this as a result of Honda's roots as an engine company and its extensive racing history. Honda has become the dominant marquee in motorcycle Grand Prix racing, winning numerous championships - as of today a staggering total of over 600 international and U.S. race wins have been accumulated by Honda with no end in sight. This long racing lineage has always directly connected with Honda’s two-wheeled street and dirt machines which is seen in their insanely popular CBR line up, made up of the CBR1000RR and CBR600RR, two of the top selling sportbikes in the world. Some other popular Honda motorcycles are the full-boat Gold Wing touring motorcycle(available with the industry’s only motorcycle airbag), VFR1200F sport touring motorcycle, VTX1800, VTX1300, Shadow and Rebel cruisers, the NC700X adventure bike, the retro-styled CB1100, the friendly midsize CB500F and even the little CRF50F minibike for kids. Honda’s off-road offerings include the CRF450X enduro and the CRF250R motocross bike. One can understand why in this enormous lineup of class-leading motorcycles by HONDA, there is a hire bike for just about everybody.
