The two-wheeled equipment of the Honda company has long conquered the whole world with its quality and reliability.But few people know which specific models have made the company a name and worldwide
recognition.It is clear that Honda has excellent and popular motorcycles, well, just not an incredible amount.However, I bring to your attention eight of the most legendary and recognizable models
around the world!Well, we will start with the super star of the company for all time — the Honda Super Cub.This moped was born in 1958 and it was after him that the concept itself was born
scooter! Super Cub is the most massive ever produced not motorcycles or mopeds, but motor vehicles in general β the total circulation of only the original Honda,
not counting Chinese copies, it reached 100 million copies in October 2017, and production continues to this day.The first model had a ridge frame, from the bottom of which an
upperβvalve 49 cc engine was suspended, producing 4.5 hp, the gearbox was three-stage with automatic centrifugal clutch.Then there were
models with engines up to 125 cc.
Next comes the iconic micro-motorcycle Honda Monkey Z50, which appeared in 1967.The company did not expect that this baby, originally made to order for amusement parks, would
become so popular
and get out on the roads!The first version was the simplest with a rigid suspension, 49 cm3 four-stroke engine with a capacity of 2.6 hp and a 3-speed gearbox.Subsequent versions have
already received a full suspension and a 4-station gearbox, the power has increased to 3.5 hp. The Z50 weighing 68 kg is able to easily accelerate to 50 km / h.
In 1969, Honda introduced the CB750 model, a motorcycle that forever changed the idea of what a modern urban bike should be. The CB750 had an inline
736 cm3, four-cylinder engine with one overhead camshaft and air cooling, which gave out — 67 hp, accelerating the device to — 200 km/h. The motorcycle was one of the
first to have a five-speed gearbox, a front disc brake and an electric starter.Well, according to the last issue, who watched, he knows the name of the motorcycle, which
after the appearance took away the crown from the CB750.
The next historical event in the company occurred in 1974, when Honda introduced the GL1000 Gold Wing model. The motorcycle was equipped with a new four-cylinder opposed liquid-
cooled power unit, with a volume of 999 cm3, which produced 80 hp of maximum power and 83 Nm of torque. The motor is equipped with 4 vacuum
carburetors (CV), 2 valves per cylinder (with manual clearance adjustment using a screw and counter-nut) and a timing belt drive.The model was immediately appreciated by fans
