Honda reaches 300m unit milestone

Honda has announced that its cumulative worldwide motorcycle production reached the 300 million unit milestone in September.


At a ceremony to commemorate the milestone at their Kumamoto Factory, Honda's primary motorcycle production plant in Japan, a 40th anniversary edition Goldwing became the 300 millionth unit to be produced, in the 66th year since Honda began motorcycle production in 1949 with the Dream Type-D.



The Kumamoto factory was established in 1976 and with an area of approximately 1.6 million square metres, it can produce 160,000 units a year and employs some 2,600 people.
