12.01.2014: Honda is the world’s largest and most successful motorcycle manufacturer and makes more internal




Honda is the world’s largest and most successful motorcycle manufacturer and makes more internal combustion engines than any other organization. But the company’s scale and achievements are powered more by human emotions and passion than metal valves and pistons.


Joy is a fundamental emotion for Honda and the company combines the joy of buying, selling and creating with respect for the individual. On a corporate level, it is dreams that inspire Honda to create innovative products that enhance mobility and benefit society.


The company’s founder Soichiro Honda once famously said that ‘racing improves the breed’ and, to prove his theory, he first took a team to the Isle of Man TT in 1959 to begin a long and epic journey.


Success followed, with Honda’s first TT win recorded by Mike Hailwood just two years later, and now, more than 50 years on, that success has not stopped.


Honda’s association with the Dakar goes back many years and during nine years of participation between 1981 and 1989, Honda won no fewer than five times.


Returning with Team HRC and the CRF450 Rally machine, Honda will strive to increase that tally of victories in 2014 and beyond.


In 2014 Dakar Honda won three stages on the total six  days  of the race  till  today’s rest day in Salta, with the new CRF 450 rally bike .


The CRF 450 Rally  will be in production soon for the enthusiasts of the rally adventure race all over the world.
