FAQs About Honda Motorcycles

Beginning with the creation of its first motorcycle in 1955, Honda remains the largest motorcycle manufacturer in Japan. Clearly, Honda knows what it takes to make a popular line of motorcycles. Honda sport bikes give you the wheels to go cross country or drive the streets in your city. The trail bike has many models to take the beginner rider or the expert into back country rough riding. Cruisers provide a luxurious way to enjoy a ride in comfort.
- Q: What are the most popular Honda motorcycles?
- A: Of the millions of Honda cycles sold, the models which receive the most attention include the CBR, the Shadow and the Gold Wing.
- Q: Which bike is the best for a beginner?
- A: The Shadow's three models offer some good choices, two with 1100cc engines and one with a 750cc engine. The Spirit 750cc is probably the best choice for the beginner because it has a smaller frame, it is lightweight and not as long as the other models. A beginner rides alone on this bike, because it is not suitable for carrying two people.
- Q: Which bike is better for an experienced rider?
- A: The 1100cc Shadow Sabre is built to satisfy the more experienced rider. Its big engine lets it do everything expected of a big bike, and its long wheel base gives it a smooth ride. Its disc brakes for front and rear wheels give the rider the control needed for excellent driving.
