HONDA TWO WHEELERS


HONDA TWO WHEELERS


Honda motorcycles may be one of the biggest names in the power sports industry today, but it definitely wasn't always that way. While many countries were pumping out motorcycles by the hundreds, the Second World War put a huge damper on Japanese history during the early to mid 1900's and motorcycle production made little advancement. But as Japan recovered from the losses they felt from the war, the economy continued to suck, jobs were few and far between and the everyday consumer was hurting for some inexpensive and efficient transportation. Of course, bicycles became the go to mode, but it didn't take long for motorcycles to start popping up on the streets of Japan. 

One of the men to take hold of this necessity brought on by the economic challenges was Soichiro Honda. Born to a blacksmith and a weaver, Honda soon quickly found a love of anything motorized and spent most of his early life learning the trades of automobile and motorcycle repair. 

Late in the summer of 1946, Honda found himself a building and hung a sign stating that it was the Honda Technical Research Institute. For the next year, Honda experimented with auxiliary engines much like Ducati's Cucciolo that could easily attach to a bicycle as well as other engine types. 

After a lot of failed attempts at unique ideas, the fist legitimate Honda motorcycle hit the market. The 1947 Honda A-Type was a tiny little thing and had just a mere 50cc two-stroke engine and came with pedals to help it out. But its smallness gave it the advantage of being light with a dry weight of just 62.5kg and had a few differences that made it stand out comparatively. Instead of piston valves, the intake assembly had rotary disk valves that attached to the side of the crankcase. Of course, this meant that the carburetor was also attached to the crankcase instead of next to the cylinder. It was revolutionary and it didn't stop there. 

Honda refused to make his motorcycles with anything but the best quality manufacturing techniques. Most companies were forced to use the sand casting method to make their metals, but Honda had his mind set on die casting. More expensive and more prone to manufacturing in bulk, the ambition to only forge with die casting showed that Honda had high hopes for his company. Hopes that wouldn't be let down. 

Over the following years, Honda continued to produce and sell motorcycles of fine quality with great advances in the technology. The 1947 Honda A-Type was just the beginning of it all.

HONDA'S DREAMS














HONDA'S DREAMS












HONDA HISTORY


Founder - SOICHIRO

From a young age, Honda's founder, Soichiro Honda (Honda Sōichirō) (17 November 1906 – 5 August 1991) had an interest in automobiles. He worked as a mechanic at the Art Shokai garage, where he tuned cars and entered them in races. In 1937, with financing from an acquaintance, Kato Shichirō, Honda founded Tōkai Seiki (Eastern Sea Precision Machine Company) to makepiston rings working out of the Art Shokai garage. After initial failures, Tōkai Seiki won a contract to supply piston rings to Toyota, but lost the contract due to the poor quality of their products.  After attending engineering school, without graduating, and visiting factories around Japan to better understand Toyota's quality control processes, Honda was able, by 1941, to mass-produce piston rings acceptable to Toyota, using an automated process that could employ even unskilled wartime laborers.
Tōkai Seiki was placed under control of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (called the Ministry of Munitions after 1943) at the start of World War II, and Soichiro Honda was demoted from president to senior managing director after Toyota took a 40% stake in the company. Honda also aided the war effort by assisting other companies in automating the production of military aircraft propellers. The relationships Honda cultivated with personnel at Toyota, Nakajima Aircraft Company and the Imperial Japanese Navywould be instrumental in the postwar period.  A US B-29 bomber attack destroyed Tōkai Seiki's Yamashita plant in 1944, and the Itawa plant collapsed in the 1945 Mikawa earthquake, and Soichiro Honda sold the salvageable remains of the company to Toyota after the war for ¥450,000, and used the proceeds to found the Honda Technical Research Institute in October 1946. With a staff of 12 men working in a 172-square-foot (16.0 m2) shack, they built and sold improvised motorized bicycles, using a supply of 500 two-stroke 50 cc Tohatsu war surplus radio generator engines.  When the engines ran out, Honda began building their own copy of the Tohatsu engine, and supplying these to customers to attach their bicycles. This was the Honda Model A, nicknamed the Bata Bata for the sound the engine made.  The first complete motorcycle, with both the frame and engine made by Honda, was the 1949Model D, the first Honda to go by the name Dream.  Honda Motor Company grew in a short time to become the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles by 1964.
The first production automobile from Honda was the T360 mini pick-up truck, which went on sale in August 1963. Powered by a small 356 cc straight-4 gasoline engine, it was classified under the cheaper Kei car tax bracket. The first production car from Honda was the S500 sports car, which followed the T360 into production in October 1963. Its chain driven rear wheels points to Honda's motorcycle origins
Over the next few decades, Honda worked to expand its product line and expanded operations and exports to numerous countries around the world. In 1986, Honda introduced the successful Acura brand to the American market in an attempt to gain ground in theluxury vehicle market. Honda in 1991 introduced the Honda NSX supercar, the first all-aluminum monocoque vehicle that incorporated a mid-engine V6 with variable-valve timing.
CEO Tadashi Kume was succeeded by Nobuhiko Kawamoto in 1990, who was selected over Shoichiro Irimajiri, who oversaw the successful establishment of Honda of America Manufacturing, Inc. in Marysville, Ohio. Kawamoto and Irimajiri shared a friendly rivalry within Honda and Irimajiri would resign in 1992 from Honda due to health issues.
Following the death of Soichiro Honda and the departure of Irimajiri, Honda found itself quickly being outpaced in product development by other Japanese automakers and was caught off-guard by the truck and sport utility vehicle boom of the 1990s, all which took a toll on the profitability of the company. Japanese media reported in 1992 and 1993 that Honda was at serious risk of an unwanted and hostile takeover by Mitsubishi Motors, who at the time was a larger automaker by volume and flush with profits from their successful Pajero and Diamante.
Kawamoto acted quickly to change Honda's corporate culture, rushing through market-driven product development that resulted in recreational vehicles such as the Odyssey and the CR-V, and a decrease on the numerous sedans and coupes that were popular with Honda's engineers but not with the buying public. The most shocking change to Honda came when Kawamoto ended Honda's successful participation in Formula One after the 1992 season, citing costs in light of the takeover threat from Mitsubishi as well as creating a more environmentally friendly company image.
Later, 1995 gave rise to the Honda Aircraft Company with the goal of producing jet aircraft under Honda's name.
