The Honda Story

Road & Racing Motorcycles From 1948 to the Present Day

Author: Ian Falloon

After the nightmare of the Second World War, Soichiro Honda and Takeo Fujisawa created the Dream. This was followed by the Benly and Super Cub, which led to a series of twin-cylinder motorcycles including the Super Hawk and CB450. Today - through a marriage of engineering brilliance and astute marketing - Honda has become the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer, dominating both the race track and showroom. It is an extraordinary story, told here with particular reference to the top road and road racing models.
