These 13 Honda Motorcycles Will Inspire You to Trade in Your Automobile

Since its founding in 1946, Honda has expanded to become the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world by 1959.

The Japanese motorbike maker has produced some of the best and most inventive bikes ever, growing stronger and stronger.

Although it is nearly impossible to narrow down their model lineup to only 13 favorites, we decided to give it a try and researched their past in order to create this list.

13 Honda Motorcycles Will Inspire You to Trade in Your Automobile

Honda Fireblade

In the early 1980s, Honda debuted the CBR, and the CBR900RR Fireblade was created in 1992. With its 893cc four-cylinder engine and far lower weight than previous large-displacement sportbikes, it changed the superbike industry.

Since then, the Fireblade’s engine has been upgraded to 1,000cc, and it now boasts all the technology and rider aids you could possibly require. Although we’re not sure if 215 horsepower is really necessary for street riding, it’s encouraging to know that supercars can be outperformed for under $30,000.

Honda Shadow

Since 1983, Honda has sold its Shadow cruiser series in the United States. At the time, Harley-Davidson motorbikes were extremely expensive and of subpar construction, so an inexpensive, practically indestructible Honda cruiser was a tempting substitute.

Over time, Honda has updated and modernized the Shadow, but the fundamental design remains the same. It’s a straightforward V-twin American-style cruiser bike, and that’s exactly what makes it so amazing in the first place.

Honda CB750

Many decades before the Fireblade, the Honda CB750 transformed the superbike industry. Yes, this iconic naked bike used to be regarded as a superbike; in fact, some people claim it was the first ever.

Honda created the CB750, one of the first large-displacement four-cylinder motorbikes from Japan, to rival the British bikes of that era. Produced between 1969 and 2008, it continues to maintain a sizable fan base because of its unparalleled dependability, style, and affordability.

RC30 Honda VFR750R

Specialized in homologation, the Honda VFR750R. Essentially, it’s an RC30 race bike from Honda that won the World Superbike Championship, but it has mirrors and indicators.

With just 3,000 produced, it’s one of the most sought-after Honda motorcycles. Most owners will never ride them because they are very expensive these days. That’s unfortunate because the 748cc V4 engine’s high revving is really enjoyable. We regular people with regular budgets may now make our own RC30 replicas based on the somewhat less expensive RC36 VFR750, thanks to TYGA.

Honda CBX 1000

The majority of motorcycles built today have two, three, or four cylinders, but in 1979 Honda introduced an inline-six engine to the CBX 1000, and it changed the motorcycle world forever.

The massive 1,000cc engine protrudes from the frame on both sides, giving the bike an aggressive, muscular appearance. With 105 horsepower and almost no vibration, the CBX 1000 is quite quiet in normal form. But when the exhaust is tuned properly, it sounds like an F1 car that has a rage problem.

Honda NR750

Honda has produced a number of revolutionary, game-changing motorcycles, and it’s clear that they don’t mind deviating from the norm. The 1992 NR750 is one example of a bike that pushed the envelope to the point that no one has ever tried to construct a bike quite like it.

Honda developed its oval-cylinder engine over many years. By utilizing oval rather than round cylinders, the V4 engine was able to generate V8 power while still complying with racing regulations. Long before these features were standard, the NR750 also included a single-sided swingarm, a digital speedometer, a large number of composite parts, and under-seat exhaust. There were only 300 produced, and each one is incredibly expensive.

Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird

Japanese motorcycle manufacturers engaged in a high-speed competition for many years. Up until Honda produced the Super Blackbird in the mid-1990s, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX11 was the fastest production motorbike.

With a top speed of 178.5 mph, the 1,137cc Super Blackbird ruled the hill for a spell. With its highest speed of 194 mph, the now-iconic Suzuki Hayabusa defeated it to take the championship. Fearing that these hyperbikes might be banned by European legislators, the Japanese manufacturers came to a gentlemen’s agreement to cap the top speed of their bikes at 186 mph.

Honda Gold Wing

In comparison to some of the other bikes on our list, the Gold Wing could be thought of as a large, heavy, boring lump. If you’re heading on a lengthy vacation, though, nothing else compares.

The Gold Wing, which offers unparalleled comfort, is comparable to an RV in the motorcycle industry. With 125 horsepower from its 1,833cc six-cylinder engine, it can travel at highway speeds all day.

Honda NRX1800 Valkyrie Rune

Critics and pessimistic Nancys will label the Honda Rune as a failure and an error, but after more investigation, it might be among the best motorcycles ever produced.

Although exact production figures are unknown, Honda is thought to have produced about 3,000 units. Although each bike cost over $100,000 to produce, they only brought in under $25,000. Now a real collector’s item, the Rune featured top-shelf components and the flat-six engine of the Gold Wing.

Honda RC213V-S

The limited-edition Desmocedici street bike was created by Ducati in the mid-2000s and was inspired by their MotoGP motorcycle. It’s not just the Italians, though, who can pull off a prank like that. The RC213V-S, a road-legal MotoGP motorcycle, was manufactured by Honda in 2015.

The 90° V4 engine of the RC213V-S, which came with an optional sports kit, produced 215 horsepower, which is sufficient for a 374-pound motorbike. A redesigned exhaust system, a quick shifter, a front ram duct, an upgraded ECU, and other goodies were included with the sports package. Regretfully, purchasing and maintaining one will require substantial financial resources.

Honda Fury

The Honda Fury can be the ideal motorcycle for you if you want a real chopper but still need something dependable. A major motorcycle manufacturer constructed a production chopper for the first time, and the original concept was devised by Jesse James of West Coast Choppers.

The final bike deviated from James’ original design, but the Honda Fury nevertheless has the appearance of a custom chopper, similar to those created by industry icons like Arlen Ness or WCC. Despite its bizarre appearance, the 1,300cc V-twin engine that powers it maintains the same 32-degree rake angle as the Honda VTX.

Honda CBR600 F4i

From 2001 until 2006, the Honda CBR600F4i was produced, and it’s possible that it’s the greatest all-around sportbike ever seen. Although it is based on the F4, it has had several upgrades and alterations made to the bodywork, chassis, and engine.

Although it only has 110 horsepower, it is far more comfortable than any of the screaming, fast-revving 600cc sportbikes from the mid-2000s. That being said, it’s no slouch. It is still more than capable of handling the occasional track day, having won the Supersport World Championship in 2002. If you want something sportier, you can always get the no-compromise CBR600RR.

Honda CBR600RR

In 2003, Honda unveiled the CBR600RR. Although it was marketed alongside the previously mentioned F4i, the RR outperformed it in races and claimed seven Supersport World Championships.

Even though it’s not nearly as comfortable as the F4i, it was the winner of several accolades, including Best Middleweight Sportbike and Best Sportbike. With over 120 horsepower, the CBR600RR is a small but mighty beast on the road and in the racetrack.
