Honda has built its 300 millionth motorcycle, crossing a milestone that few automakers have reached. The historic bike produced at its Kumamoto Factory in Japan was a top-of-the-line Gold Wing, which has a 1.8-liter engine and sells for over $24,000 -- a far cry from the humble 98cc Dream Type-D that kicked off production in 1949. |

Color me impressed!. That is a lot of bikes and I love my Hondas!

I wish Honda would have done something special for their 300 millionth motorcycle, GoldWings are nice enough but they're so damn boring and common, I'd have loved to see something like a special built one-off of the CBX, nothing showed off their engineering ability like that big beautiful in-line 6 cylinder beastie... ![]() |

Own an s2000 built to celebrate 50 years of Honda. Closest thing to driving a 4 wheeler that acts like a 2 wheeler that is livable as a daily.

They should have built an updated oval piston bike.
They should have built a street bike based on the RC211V bike (V5) |

Quoted: thats not a bike, that is a rolling couch ![]() View Quote I'd love to pick up a cheap used GW, maybe a late 80's/early 90's model. Would be great for long road trips. But for the most part, when it comes to bikes, the lighter the better - and the GW is way up there on weight, only beat by some of the monster size cruisers. |

Sadly, I did... it was a 2010 GL1800 in hot rod yellow, and it was boring and too insulating from the experience, I might as well take the car. I traded it off for a Harley Night Train and got the bugs back in my teeth again... ![]() |

It was an LT model. It was affectionately called the Light Truck! |

Quoted: I didn't realize that the Gold Wing was available as cheap as 24k, last time I saw one at a dealer it was the tricked out model with airbags and everything, and it was a hell of a lot more than that!

I had a Trail 70 when I was a kid. View Quote My first 'proper' motorcycle was a Honda S90, I think it was a 1968. My dad got it for me as payment for a hard winter of working the cattle, I learned how to ride on that bike, I must have crashed it a dozen times being stupid and of course that taught me how to repair them... still at it too, just not the crashin' part <knock on wood> ![]() |

When I was 15, my Dad bought me a 1979 Honda 250 Enduro. I rode more miles, both on road and off on that bike than on any I've owned since. Hondas have always had a spot in my heart, because I experienced my first taste of freedom on one.
