Honda passed the 200 million motorcycles built milestone in September 2008 – an average of over 3 million a year.

It has taken 60 years to get there, starting with the Dream D-Type in 1949. Honda sold just shy of 13.5 million motorcycles in 2007.

so you wouldn't feel like you're riding something a bit exclusive with a Honda badge on your bike then? I think I remember reading that Ducati only built around 2,000 Supersport 600ss bikes...of course that was coz they weren't very popular! :rofl:
