TopSpeed ​​named 10 Honda motorcycles that do not break down even after 160 thousand kilometers

The list includes both cult classic models and modern touring motorcycles.

The list opens with the 1970 Honda CB750, a motorcycle that is often called the most important motorcycle in history. With basic maintenance, it easily covers 160 thousand kilometers. Next up is the 1975 Gold Wing GL1000 with a 1000cc flat-four engine. cm, which has proven itself to be an ideal bike for touring. The 1985 Gold Wing GL1200 was the first in the brand’s lineup to receive a full fairing straight from the factory, Topspeed reports.

The 1998 CBR1100XX, known as the “Blackbird”, a former world speed record holder, has been described as “virtually timeless” and is now often used as a budget sports tourer. With an early version of the proven flat-six engine, the 2001 Gold Wing GL1800 offers comfortable seating, good wind protection and a smooth ride.

The 2008 VFR800 Interceptor with its V-four engine has evolved from a sportbike into one of the best and longest-lasting touring machines around. Although not a big name, the 2012 VFR1200F is an incredible value for those looking for a very fast and reliable 170bhp bike.

The 2014 Valkyrie is essentially a Gold Wing, minus the body kit, but significantly lighter and with the same reliable V6. The modern 2017 Africa Twin has a Unicam 1100 engine with good torque, and the first generation features fewer electronics, which increases the reliability of the bike.

Rounding out the list is the 2018 CB500X, a rare example of a small-displacement engine (47 hp) designed to last more than 160 thousand kilometers. The publication’s authors note that owning a Honda is often equated to buying peace of mind.
