I need you to read a statistic so mind-blowing, I had to read it a few times just to be sure that my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Honda, the biggest manufacturer in the motorcycle and scooter space, has sold half a billion motorcycles since it began production in 1949. 500 million motorcycles have been sold in the last 76 years.
On average, that equates to a whopping 6,578,947 motorcycles each and every year since 1949. That's throughout the aftermath of World War II and Japan's reconstruction. That's through the turbulent times and global recessions across the years. And that's through waxing and waning public want for motorcycles across its entire global footprint.
Honda, it seems, is an unstoppable motorcycle-making machine. A behemoth straight out of Toho, ready to strike fear in the hearts and minds of those other motorcycle manufacturers that believe they're hot stuff. They aren't, and that half-a-billion figure is proof.
