Honda has always played an important role in motor sports,
believing it to be the springboard for technological advancement.
It has also been an aggressive force in the endurance,
motocross and trial races held around the world.
We, at Honda, are not allowing this momentum to let up,
as we pursue even greater achievements.
Honda has always loved racing, ever since Sochiro Honda
took his company into motorcycle competition, sometime
in the 1950s. Honda’s engineers have tested themselves
on the international stage, proving their technology to
be the best in the world. These technologies are tested
in the extreme conditions of motorcycle racing, to adapt
them for use in vehicles that ply on roads today.
In the past, Honda has powered some of the all time great racers, including Redman, Hailwood, Spencer, Gardner, Capirossi and Doohan, to 39 riders’ titles. Even today, some of the greatest motorcycle racers, like Alex Baros, Max Biaggi, Nicky Hayden ride on Honda bikes, at the races.

Technologies like these are not just for the race tracks,
but are also incorporated in our everyday vehicles. They
are first tested, refined and proven under the trying
conditions in the races, and then finally adapted in the
vehicles, so that two wheelers like Activa and Dio can
utilise and benefit from such technologies.
