Honda is one of the most popular motorbike manufacturers in the world. Here are 10 of the best motorbike models according to their loyal fans.

Monkey

The 2019 Honda Monkey is an up-to-date reboot of the classic Z50. It's a retro-style minibike with a 125-cc engine and four-speed transmission. It's light, weighing in at just 231 pounds, and features compact 12-inch wheels.

Ruckus

Many people love the simplicity of the Honda Ruckus. Its no-frills design is characterized by an exposed engine and a rugged scooter-style floorboard. It's advertised as the indie choice.

Rebel

The Rebel is something of a cult classic, and it looks like it too. But it's been updated in recent years, including with a choice of 300/500cc engines. It's fast, comfy and full of attitude, which may be why it has been voted the best lightweight street bike and cruiser by the experts.

CBR 900RR Fireblade

The CBR 900RR, also known as the Fireblade, was the brainchild of superstar designer Tadao Baba. It has been described to run as a 1000cc bike (for road riding) with 600cc-style handling.

VFR750F Interceptor

The Interceptor is kind of an all around bike. It's a decent sports tourer with smooth acceleration and an aluminum frame. It's a comfortable ride too, which sets it apart from most other sports-focused models.

CRF450R

Ask many dirt bike racers and they'll sing the praises of this model. It's been updated numerous times since it was launched back in 2000, but it still retains its 449cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine.

CB750

When it came out in 1969, the Honda CB750 marked a change of pace with the company's suburban, family-friendly image. With its 750cc four-cylinder engine, disc brakes and other racing-level features, it was the first superbike on the market.

Super Cub

The Honda Super Cub has been around for decades, and it's still one of the most popular vehicles on the planet. Not only is it cheap and simple, but also it's hard-wearing and highly dependable.

CBR 600F Hurricane

The Honda Hurricane is so comfortable and reliable that it's easy to forget just how fast it moves. Just look at the track record and you'll see how many titles it's won. Yet it's still relatively cheap.

CRF Africa Twin

With its 998cc liquid-cooled four-stroke Unicam eight-valve parallel twin engine, the Africa Twin isn't just a good-looking bike. It also has excellent suspension, two-channel ABS and a rear tire sliding off switch. Best of all, it performs on a wide variety of terrains.
