Honda Motor announced that cumulative worldwide motorcycle production reached the 300 million-unit milestone. The 300 million-unit milestone was reached in the 66th year since Honda began motorcycle production in 1949 with the Dream Type-D.
A 2015 model Gold Wing produced at Kumamoto Factory has became the 300 millionth motorcycle by Honda.
The history of Honda’s motorcycle business began with the start of mass-production in Japan in 1949. Production outside of Japan began in Belgium in 1963, and since then Honda has been expanding its local production to many countries around the world.
Honda is currently producing motorcycles at 33 plants in 22 countries.
“We will continue to provide products that will please our customers in each country and region in the world,” said Takanobu Ito, president and CEO of Honda Motor.
