The Most Popular Honda Motorcycles Every Rider Should Know
Honda has long been one of the motorcycle world’s most respected and recognizable brands. Whether for innovation, reliability, or sheer rideability, Honda has produced models that stand the test of time. Here are some of the most popular Honda motorcycles that riders around the world admire — bikes that have set benchmarks and captured hearts.
🏍 Honda CB750
Often called the motorcycle that defined the modern era, the Honda CB750 was one of the first large-displacement, affordable, reliable four-cylinder bikes. Its balance of performance and everyday usability made it legendary among riders and set a standard for decades. (Noted in many “best Hondas ever made” lists. )
🏍 Honda Gold Wing
The Gold Wing is Honda’s premier touring machine. Known for its comfort, smooth ride, advanced features, and long-distance capability, the Gold Wing has made many riders feel like the road is home. It’s been featured frequently among Honda’s top models. 
🏍 Honda Africa Twin
For adventure riders, the Africa Twin is one of those bikes that merges rugged off-road ability with road comfort. It’s become well-loved by riders who want to explore beyond asphalt yet still need reliability. 
🏍 Honda Rebel 500
The Rebel 500 combines approachable power with cruiser style, making it popular for newer riders and those who want “cool looks without the intimidation.” Its mid-sized engine gives enough punch without overkill. 
🏍 Honda CBR1000RR / FireBlade Series
Honda’s CBR / FireBlade line represents its sportbike pinnacle. High performance, sharp handling, excellent engineering — bikes in this line often appear in lists of top sport bikes from Honda. 
🏍 Honda Grom
Tiny in displacement but big in fun, the Grom (also known in some markets as MSX125) is beloved for its agility, approachable size, and personality. Many riders love it for city riding, beginners, or just as a playful second bike. 
🏍 Honda Super Cub
One of the most iconic motorcycles ever made, the Super Cub has been around since 1958 and continues in production. It’s one of the best-selling motor vehicles of all time. Its simplicity, reliability, and universal appeal make it a legendary model among riders everywhere. 
🏍 Honda CB350 / H’ness CB350
The CB350 (and its newer H’ness CB350 versions) blends retro styling with modern improvements. It appeals to riders who like classic motorcycle looks, comfortable ergonomics, and moderate performance. 
🏍 Honorable Classics & Special Mentions
