| The developer of one of the most popular motorcycle manufacturers of today didn't even realize that he would be responsible for the motorcycle line when he started the company, in fact, his interest was really in cars. His passion for racing and speed and his hard work ethic, combined with experience with motorcycles gave him the tools needed to start a successful venture. Honda started up a auto repair shop in 1928 which was used primarily to build race cars. It was not until 1948 that he finally started the company that we know today as Honda. Some of the first motorcycle models that they created where 2 and 4 stroke models which were of the highest quality and design. The Honda motorcycle company did go through some hard times over the next 20 years or so because of war and economic hardship, but no matter what challenges may have been faced, they never stopped producing. Their biggest drive was to keep the people of their company employed. Their successes continued as a result and by the late 50s the company was seeing more growth and more success, especially after the C100 Super Club was introduced. This motorcycle was believed to be one of the most popular machines throughout the land. It was popular because it was very affordable and could be operated by just about anybody. This motorcycle possessed a 4 stroke engine and a 3 speed transmission, and was quite simple when it came to actually driving it. It was a very popular choice for commuters. By now, Honda had grown to be one of the top motorcycle manufacturers in the world. It was at this point that Honda decided to go international, with new markets being expanded to Asia, Europe, and they also continued their stronghold in the U.S. Honda opened their first motorcycle shop in the California, and followed up by opening another 75 motorcycle dealerships throughout the United States during the year of 1960. All of these dealerships proved to be quite successful. Aside from being one of the top manufacturers of motorcycles, Honda also helped create the Motorcycle Industry Council as well as the Motorcycle Safety Council, which was made possible by funding that they supplied to get these organizations off the ground. This helped to gain the trust of consumers through the U.S. Honda continued to show great success throughout the 70s as they produced high quality motorcycles that consumers absolutely loved and enjoyed because of the high speed performance that they were capable of. Their popularity soared even more when they brought out the GL1000 Gold Wing, which was a touring bike. This motorcycle was the leader when it came to comfortable and stylish motorcycles. Since the introduction of the Gold Wing, Honda has become one of the biggest producers of quality motorcycles that fit the needs of just about every type of consumer. They have also continued to serve the community by becoming a part of the public eye through charity donations, special event sponsorships, and more. Honda has enjoyed great success because of their ability to adapt to the market changes by producing high quality, innovative motorcycles that are well designed and reliable. Quality is what consumers are expecting and quality is what Honda has been producing and are bigger than ever because of it. http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Matt_LeClair http://Powersports.Honda.com/Motorcycles |
