Great example of motorcycle riders diversity

It’s really amazing to see how different people are, and yet have the same passion in common. Here’s a few examples from people reading Helmet Hair Motorcycle Blog, who sent me emails about their bikes and rides they’ve been on.
This is Mike from Texas on his “Ruby”, a 2003 Honda VTX 1800R.

Here’s Reverend J.W.White Jr. posing in his sanctum, and kicking it back on his VTX 1800 with his buddy Phillip.

Here’s our well know hair-between-the-teeth-true-biker Kevin a.k.a. Pan Chopper Man. Geared up to fight for freedom beside his Harley Davidson Panhead.

Last but by no means least is David Thomson, who more than once contributed with great road tales here on Helmet Hair. Photo is from his trip to Mallorca with a XT660R, David normally rides a Honda VFR

Getting emails from you guys is bloody brilliant. Please keep them coming. I think this diversity underlines pretty good what is important for most of us bikers, motorcycle enthusiasts, call it what ever. Which is riding motorcycles and meeting fellow riders. I know of nothing like motorcycles that can really bridge the various cultural gaps between people.
Don’t let anyone tell you what to ride. Ride when and what you like. No matter where you’re from there’s plenty of us, just as nuts as you.
Thank you to all who have sent me emails about you and your rides. Keep it up people. Send photos of you and your rides to

Where to Find Honda Motorcycle Parts

Honda produce reliable motorcycles and are the largest producer of internal combustion engines engineering 14 millions engines a year।

They are also the 6th Largest automobile manufacturer in the world and the 4th in the United States overtaking Chrysler in 2008. They didn't enter the American market in motorcycles until 1960 so there is over 50 years worth of Honda history in the USA now and that's a lot of Honda motorcycle parts to go with it.

The first place for the cheapest Honda motorcycle parts you can check is a junkyard, however these (especially motorcycle specific ones) can be hard to find.

Next try motor parts buildings. These are where the garages go to purchase parts for your Honda Motorcycle and although public prices are slightly higher than trade prices you will be getting them at one of the main sources and therefore can make a saving.

You can also try your local garages if you can not find motor factors। Although the garages will order from local motor factors or their preferred online source.

Next you can try specialist Honda Motorcycle companies online. There are many companies which advertise and keep their specialty to one brand of motorcycle. These are usually the best ones to go for as they are more efficient in finding what you need and more likely to have it in stock as opposed to providing you with a generic solution.

Finally you can try the manufacturer (Honda) themselves। However this is usually the most expensive way। They can usually get the parts for their older models, although they may not want too due to hassle so be sure to wave some money their way if you are struggling to find the part you need elsewhere.

If you still can not find the Honda motorcycle parts you require new then there are second hand options. Whilst rubber parts tend to fade over the years and are not a recommended 2nd hand buy, metal parts do last providing they haven't been over stressed and used as designed.

eBay is one source but it can be unreliable and you may be waiting months for the right part and even then may get outbid at the last moment।

A better idea is to search on owners forums. The chances are there is a lot of enthusiasts for your model and someone around the world somewhere will have the part spare and happily send it on for the right price. This method has never failed me when I own rare models, again you might have to wait a bit, but something always turns up, put out wanted ad's and you might get lucky quickly. To do this go to Google.com and type in your Honda Motorcycle model and try adding words like 'club', 'owners' or 'society' on the end to find the owners forum for your specific model.

The History of Honda Motorcycles

Honda then continued on his journey to produce a vast array of machines and Honda motorcycle parts which resulted in the eventual trust of the consumer and financial success.

Honda Motorcycles, Perfect For You

Are you looking for a motorcycle but don't know what brand to trust in?

In early 1949, Honda began producing high quality bikes। When it reached 2005, Honda already accumulated several manufacturing plants in more than twenty different countries and more than 150 million bikes were sold। As years went by, the quality of Honda bikes became better and better and the popularity of the brand rose to an all time high. The most popular and perhaps the greatest of all the Honda models is the Valkyrie.

The Honda Valkyrie is offered as a six cylinder, inline engine। Liquid cooling is provided within these models using a 1520cc boxer। Soon after its release in 1997, the Valkryie became Honda's best selling model. It was not designed as a V twin. Instead, Honda focused on power and used six different carburetors and set up the lining of the cylinders in opposite directions as opposed to at angles. But the smooth idle and awesome engine noises were not enough. In 2004, the final Valkyrie model, the "Rune" edition was released and sold. Unfortunately, due to their popularity only used Valkyries are available on the motorcycle market.

Honda motorcycles are all suited for street riding as well as off-road biking। They produce both large and smaller motorcycles। For example, the CR85R, with an 85cc engine is a great beginner bike for a teenager. Other models such as the CRF50 or the XR650L deliver a much stronger and powerful performance and are typically intended for off-roading. For traveling the city every day, the Interceptor model is ideal for handling daily traffic. For a larger, more robust Honda motorcycle, one might look into the Goldwing which is ideal for a manly man of size.

Regardless of your specific needs, your size, if you want it for daily transportation or for off-road purposes, Honda has a motorcycle model that will fit you. If you want top performance you may look into investing in some aftermarket Honda motorcycle parts so that you can feel the true speed and performance of your new bike।
