My wife and I recently drove back to California from Iowa and while we were exploring the small town of Sidney, Nebraska, I spotted his hand-painted sign on the side of an old Honda dealership. I figure it's been there about 50 years.

Yes, but Honda's quality has remained. A current one could likely last another fifty years!

I also have two four wheeled Hondas, one being an '01 S2000 that continues to run beautifully.
 
I loved all the Honda (cycles) my brother and/or I collected over the years. My own CB-750 and CB-550 are long gone, as are a couple of those 70cc "corporate" mini (trail) bikes. But my mid 70s ('75, IIRC) 125cc Elsinore is still sitting @ my dad's place in Illinois. It has not run in years but my younger son is putting his back into getting that 2-stroke legend up & running. Some day Honda's Elsinore revolutionaized motocross. Maybe yes maybe no, but I nonetheless loved riding that little effer.
 
The elsinore's do have an exceptional reputation in the motorcross world history, that I know.
The '69 750's were, indeed, the world's first and coined the definition " superbike" for the masses. To the detriment of triumph and norton....and almost harley......
'69 750 sandcast examples are in the $30,000 range, depending on condition.
A 1975 "K" model, mint Honda 550 went for $9500 on Bring-a-Trailer a few weeks ago
My original, unrestored, mint 1975 "F" model cost me $700 in 1994....
Vintage hondas are moving up in desirability, especially the trails and mini-bikes.......
 
I saw a trail 125 on the road yesterday, in that same dark gold-ish color.

Did not know they were still in production.
 
Wanted one of those Trail 70's so bad back when I was a kid. Early 70's
