Honda ran a service shop in 1928, but was 41 years old in 1948, when he originally started the Honda Motor Company. He paid a lot of attention to quality, because he believed that to compete he needed well-designed products that were made well. Despite motorcycle sales being on an increasing trend in 1953, the economic depression in Japan almost sank his company. A small quantity of motorcycles ended up selling, and since he just didn’t want to put people out of work, he kept the factory open. The wisdom of this determination was borne out in 1958, by the release of what became the most successful motorcycle in the world, the C100 Super Cub. The bike was versatile and also inexpensive, near anybody’s reach, driven by a 4-stroke motor with a 3-speed transmission.
Women especially took to it for the purpose of commuting, but novice riders of both genders loved it for its ease of use. By 1959, due to this bike, the biggest manufacturer of motorcycles was Honda. This encouraged them to choose to start broadening around the world. They believed that the U.S. was the key market to seize at the outset. They believed once their designs were accepted by the American people, they would win over the rest of the world as well. Honda was in fact first accessible to the American public in June, 1959, in Los Angeles, and by 1960 a person could buy a Honda from any of more than 75 stores.
By making accessible half the financing for two important organizations, Honda exhibited their commitment to the community and won a huge amount of public trust for their company. The associations, both of which were sincerely appreciated by motorcycling enthusiasts, were the Motorcycle Safety Council and the Motorcycle Industry Council. Honda went on to create new motorcycles during the 1970′s, which people could hardly get enough of, keeping them atop the industry. They were rapidly thought to be the quickest bikes in the world, flowing from their winning of over 70 global races in 1973. Other bike manufacturers were quick to jump on the bandwagon, when, in 1975, touring bikes became fashionable as well as comfortable, following the introduction of the GL1000 Gold Wing.
Progressive motorcycles, attractive to different cultures, have continued to be produced by Honda. Each year Honda donate numerous motorcycles to what they consider as worthwhile causes, and this helps retain the respect and fondness with which they are regarded. Bike safety keeps benefiting by Honda’s sustained funding of training programs and dissemination of beneficial information for the promotion of motorcycling safety. Honda have developed a history of reliability over the many years they have been available. A few of the big chances they have taken, have made them such a profitable empire in motorcycles.
