Honda Dirt Bikes

This week will revolve around Honda Dirt bikes. In 1948, Honda came about when the Honda Motor CO. was founded. Soichiro Honda, who was a mechanic by trade, made this company to provide a solution to Japans war-torn market for they were short of money and fuel. This company was a cheaper and more effecient way of transportation. Alot like the brand Suzuki, Honda was fitting engines of bicyles. In 1949, the Dream D-Type was the first A 98 cc road bike.

Finally in 1959, in Los Angeles CA, Honda had finally left Japan and stretched the to United States. Not long after that, little Honda dirt bikes started coming about in the late 60's. When the year 1972 came around, the first weapon of a motocross dirt bike was created. CR250 Elsinore was a Honda dirt bike that was like no other and had definitely led the way to newer beginning.

Hondas are pretty good bikes, but i would have to say Kawasakis and Yahamas beat Honda.

I think it's pretty cool that dirt bikes came about because someone put a motor on a bicycle.
