What really differentiated both the Honda MB and MT from the German competition was the price. In 1981, Honda reduced the price from 2,499, - gulden to 1,995, - gulden. More than 1,000 guilders less than Zundapp and Kreidler!! The Honda MB-5, a classic that keeps increasing in value.

The history of Honda.
On September 24, 1948, the Honda company was founded in Hamamatsu and got its name by its founder himself called Soichiro Honda. Honda started with separate engines for building in bicycles. It wasn't too long before Honda switched to the production of complete motorcycles. In addition, Honda also produced parts and motorcycles for Harley-Davidson. Honda was one of the first Japanese companies to show itself in the European and American markets. First with light engines, but as fast as well with the heavier engines. From 2006 onwards, Honda has also started to focus on aviation. That's how they developed the Honda Jet. This is an innovative and modern aircraft and really stands for the Honda quality.
