HONDA MOTORCYCLES

Honda Motor Co. was founded in Japan in 1948 by the pioneering Soichiro Honda and has held the position of the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer since 1959.

Soichiro Honda always dreamed of the future—and at the same time, he was creating it. Devoting his life to turning his dream into reality, the phrase “The Power of Dreams” became the brand’s enduring motto. In 1949, the first motorcycle entirely designed and manufactured by Honda from the ground up was introduced—and fittingly named “The Dream,” or D-Type.

In Greece, Saracakis Group of Companies introduced the first two-wheelers in 1959, marking the beginning of a long and successful partnership with Honda Motor Co., which continues to this day.

Honda Motorcycles are renowned for their distinctive design, exceptional quality, reliability, advanced technology, innovative safety systems, and outstanding road performance.

By 2025, total production is expected to exceed 500 million units, reaffirming Honda’s long-standing technological superiority and global impact.

Since its founding, Honda has embedded its commitment to environmental protection and road safety at the core of its mission. With a vision for a sustainable world for future generations, the company works systematically toward a circular economy with zero environmental footprint, while striving to eliminate traffic-related fatalities.

Honda has always been a company that strives to exceed the conventional standards of a motorcycle, implementing a wide range of innovative technologies. Such examples are the development of the first motorcycle airbag system, the first Combined ABS (C-ABS) for superbikes and of course the unique Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT).

DCT is a technology milestone that is a testament of Honda’s technological leadership. It was introduced in 2010 and since then, more than 140.000 bikes equipped with DCT have been sold in Europe.

DCT stands for Dual Clutch Transmission. There is no need to squeeze a clutch lever or select gears with your left foot. With a DCT-equipped Honda, the riders enjoy every journey in safety and experience a better feeling of freedom, since they don’t have to bother changing gears.

This technology is an exclusive feature of Ηonda bikes and constitutes a serious technological edge over its competitors.

Honda’s racing heritage is amazingly rich and victorious with numerous entries and wins at motorcycle races all over the world, while it is worth noting its dominant presence in MotoGP World Championship. As such, Saracakis Group of Companies maintains its presence in motorcycle racing in Greece, sponsoring contestants at different racing classes.
