@@gaboaaa23 nope but he's making the comparison that GM and the big 3 in general fought emmision regulations. Said it would cost more and not achievable. Honda met the 1975 emulsion regulations in 1972 introducing the Civic CVCC in 74 as s 1975 model. It met the EM standards and got great fuel economy as well. They took a GM vehicle with a 350 V8 in it, modified the heads and carburetor similar to their CVCC engine and met the 1975 emissions and got a small fuel economy increase. Look this up. They had some problems with the CVCC cyl head but overcame them and looked after the customer completely. Still do that but get sidetracked a bit, always get back on track to Soichiro Honda's legacy, take care of the customer.

Great video! My first motorcycle was a 1969 Honda CT-90 Trail which ran for 37,000 miles on my college budget (then it was stolen). My second bike was a 1971 Honda CB-750 which I used for ten years and over 102,000 miles with simple maintenance (batteries, clutch cable, brakes, chains, one muffler as I had "dropped" the bike, and a valve cover gasket). I never opened the engine. I still ride classic Hondas, all ten of them! The attention to details and innovations are amazing. Thank you Mr. Honda, you are right, you meet the nicest people on a Honda! Ciao, L... riding since 1969!
same for me, started on the trail 90's (3), moved up to SL-100, XL-250, XR-500, XR-350, Magna, all great bikes. I don't ride anymore. Never used their cars as I was too big to fit, but do use there lawn mowers and generators. Never any problem with any of them. I was always a Honda bike man back in the day, owned other Asain bikes but Honda was always the best for me.
Went to Honda motorcycle training center in Georgia from South Carolina after getting out of the USN in 1972 and working for a Honda motorcycle dealer. Loved their products and got into their automobiles as well plus the marine and power equipment. Had a Honda motorcycle all my life and that goes for autos since the civic came along in 1973. Thanx Honda San for my Honda dream and all the wonderful people I had met and got to know in my lifetime due to your products and company. Domo Arigato Gozaimashita!
MoogleMy why do so many people hate hondas though. they wanna go for a subaru instead or something else like an infiniti. maybe people wanna be hipster and buy something else.
10 years ago my Dad owned a Honda Repsol performance bike when I was only 5. It just sat in the back garden not doing much, although I did sometimes watch my Dad work on the bike every now and then. Ever since then i've loved Honda, especially their cars.
I've had a Honda gas power generator for almost 15 years now, and it's save my bacon, several times, during hurricanes, and ice storms that knocked out our power for upwards of a week, it kept my fridge cold, and food from going bad, and during the ice storm kept my family warm by allowing use to run a small heater, and our battery banks/phones charged for emergency broadcast. I'll never own a lesser generator. :-)
Right on ! I also own a high end generator which is simply a jewel of a machine. Also a Gold Wing motorcycle which I can describe honestly as a "magic carpet with a jet engine". Honda, Toyota, and now Kia, are the staples of the best of automotive design, engineering and production. The rest are simply imitators IMO !!
The Honda commercials of the 80's made me a HUGE fan of Honda cars! I bought one and now have an Acura. Cant see myself getting anything else at this point.
Bring back the Integra, Prelude, CRX. Imagine making these cars back again with Retro-look and Modern twist, with performance similar to today's Type R Civic..? Power of Dreams right?👍
I own a 1974 Honda CB550. The bike starts with every kick and the engine is smooth as butter. The look and quality of the machine is better than most of the motorcycles being produced today and it is an incredibly refined vehicle that keeps up with modern day traffic.
@@charleshein4477 it's actually that Toyota and Honda reduced their reliability to focus on features. It's not that other caught up. Toyota and Honda are the best in everything.
That sounds like honda is shit so you have to keep replacing them, or you just have too much money for your own good. Either way you should upgrade to something better, which lasts longer.
Nah man, Hondas are awesome, the reason ive had so many is because i buy swap and sell. Why is that too much money for my own good? because im successful at what im doing i should be hated for it? thats unjust. I change vehicles / bikes every 6 months,
Soichiro Honda was truly an engineer by heart and mind. The CVCC system originated from a dream that he had, which he immediately tried and tested right away with fantastic results. Only when catalytic converters were mandatory by law Honda implemented it (since the actual need were already met with clean engines/combustion). Just imagine that, inventing while sleeping.
Honda's S2000 introduced in 1999, with its F20C 2-Liter engine is classified as an EPA LEV (low emissions vehicle). Here is a quote from Wikipedia: "The F20C produces the highest specific output for any naturally aspirated 2.0L piston engine in a car priced under US$100,000, at 125 hp (93 kW) per liter. The F20C held the record for producing the highest specific power output for any mass production naturally aspirated piston engine." In addition, the S2000 was the only mid-engine class to achieve a dead center of yaw and gravity balanced with its 4-wheel independent wishbone suspension. Race drivers say it is extremely fun to drive.
+Arcane Anomaly "Mid Engine" is a description from the Wikipedia S2000 page. If you aren't being a Zero-Research Troll and interested to see if the S2000 truly fits the Mid-Engine class, perhaps you may care to check accuracy requirements for Wikipedia articles. Also, take a moment to Google "S2000 Mid-Engine" where you will find information on why the S2000 is a "Mid Engine" class vehicle, where the engine sits entirely between the front and rear axles. If you are adamant that it is a "Front Engine" vehicle then perhaps consider submitting a correction to the Wikipedia article to reduce the "confusion."
"as mentioned in www.s2ki.com, there is a technical definition of mid-engine that states the engine must be mounted behind the passenger compartment in order to be considered a true mid-engine car." i believe s2ki.com has as much credibility as wikipedia. just because the s2k weight distribution is like a mid engine car does not mean it fits the definition better. s2k is obviously a front engine rear wheel drive car despite its design that was purposely balanced to be like a mid engine car. the engine has to be behind the cabin to be true mid engine otherwise its front engine rear drive... if you ever looked at an s2k that would be obvious... instead of quoting from wikipedia
Back to the Era ,it was 1991 Toyota makes the most powerfull 1.6L natural aspirated enjine which is called 4aGE.IT was a power machine producing 160 BHP at 7000RPM. It was 5 cylinder 20 Valve enjine. I think this is powerfull and better than F20C enjine.
@@NIkki-ox1ej here :v. My First date was in a civic, my first trip with friends too, my frist accident and all my trips to college. I love my civic and I will never sell it, he's part of the family now.
Honda makes incredibly high-quality 4-stroke dirt bikes as well. I started on a Honda 50F at age 10 and purchased a 2016 Honda CRF-250X this past summer at age 19. Incredibly high-power & high-torque, liquid cooled, comfortable, and just gorgeous. I will never go anywhere else.
I have Accord 2003 and I have 245k right now ...does not burn oil and never fixed anything ...and original engine no rebuilds. Thats quality cars dont all of you think.
Just before Soichiro Honda died in 1991, he published a "Green Manual" . It is an excellent comprehensive document which details Honda's approach to everything from EVs to sustainable procurement. In 1990.
@ColdFusion Excellent video. But you forgot something, a very important one. Ethics. Honda and his associate Takeo Fujisawa did not made billions for themselves to become ultra rich. They shared the wealth by giving good wages and creating employment. They never got astronomical wages, share parts and so on like any murican CEO bleeding his company even in periods of losses. They payed their taxes. They did not hide money in tax heavens They decided to retire on 1973 with their well earned pensions, like any employee...Takeo Fujisawa opened an antique shop in Tokyo...Honda busied himself with work connected with the Honda Foundation, a true foundation, not a Trump one.
@@johngrauman4208 yep they used terms on some assembly lines, but they were far from being treated poorly as you say. But they did come in on a like temporary visa and could stay up to 3 months. I never saw any mistreatment on any of the assembly lines I visited in Japan. So if your from Africa, or the Philippines or Brazil for example you could get a temp job but it didn't displace Japanese workers.
I ride 2005 Honda Supra X 125 every day go to my campus, it was very smooth engine, reliable, enough power for daily use, very economical gasoline, easy to fix n find part aslo cheaps too, it's run around 150k km..
RAIL BRO mine's a chinese ATV, but the engine has been swapped with 2002 97cc Honda Supra Fit engine, well... for obvious reasons. It runs a lot smoother, and it just won't break like its chinese counterpart.
It's because people see them as cars just cars with no purpose but just a faster option of traveling and remember they are not huge car fans so just think about that
I have my Honda Civic parked next to my BMW 525i, yet I always choose the Civic as my daily driver. Edit: as of 7/29 I just traded in my Civic for a 2019 Accord Sport. 🔥👍🏼
Prowd owner of a 1990 Civic Sedan (unmodified) with 300,000+ miles, 2004 Element with 200,000+ miles, 2014 CR-V with 150,000+ miles, and recently a 2018 Civic Hatchback. Safe to say, I love my Hondas.
first car was a 1991 honda accord. current car is a 2006 civic. 1 accord, 3 civics, 2 integras, 1 prelude in between 16 years of driving. needless to say i am a fanboy. current car is running strong at 200k miles with only brake pads and 1 clutch job.
Steve Do I had a 93 accord too, same gen as yours. That car ran forever without any issues. Now I have an s2000 and that car has been solid, in all these years only the emissions air pump went bad.
Funny, had my grandmothers 92 Accord up until last year when some bastard ran a red light, hit me on my driver side and totaled it. The car had been in such impeccable condition with no issues prior to the accident, the guys insurance company offered me more than bluebook for it which is rare. Replaced it with an 2005 Accord with 211k currently but looking to purchase a 2019 soon.
I remember doing the last warrior drive behind my dad's old 87 Civic the car had several issues but never stopped running and lastly busted a ratiator...."fathers said screw it i will drive it headed home till it dies, stay behind me" That afternoon i witnessed a true warrior till his death in a 15 miles run home Smoked out of the tail pipe went from white to black Till he finished his destiny in front of dad's front yard Then and only then i understood that this hondas had a ❤️ put in their machines
Your videos are so so so beautiful !!! full of information. We can feel the amount of research done for each video. I dont even get bored for a bit if it was a video of 1 hour! Keep making more of these.
A great job on a great vision. I can say I've owned many brands of motorcycles starting in 1976 Honda included and I own one today .And Honda is the most reliable and well built
The hardware right now in smartphones are even too powerful, the main problem is the flipping softwares. if only they would focus more on optimizing rather than features now.
I started to work at Honda on 1960 as a machine tool assembler with no knowledge of engineering. Four years later, I was a junior design engineer of machine tool. I developed an automated spoke wheel assembling system and got patents for that. They did not care for your formal education.

Thank you very much for such inspirational videos! I enjoyed this one about Honda so much! The only fact I missed was to mention their participation and dominance in Formula 1 in late 80s and early 90s as a McLaren Honda team with Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna. Thank you!
I hate the bad rap Honda always gets. They're a great company that makes great machines and should be more appreciated for their contribution to innovation.
Always love your videos. Their very informative. But I also love the style of how u make your videos eventhough there is quite abit of information to digest it's actually Managable considering the way you have edited and constructed the video. Kudos to your hard work 👍
I always wanted to meet Soichiro Honda. While I I do like Ford, I also am a Honda fan. I like their bikes but I prefer Yamaha. What I really like about Honda is there durability and longevity. This is what I look for in a vehicle. I have converted many people to the Honda brand. I truly enjoyed this quick glimpse into the Honda Motor Company.
There is a bit of fun trivia that wasn't addressed here: when he couldn't make the pistons rings properly, he enrolled to the university, he was failing all the classes except engineering. He specifically wanted to know how to build the pistons rings, so he kept nagging about it to the professor. Once he figured it out, he dropped out from school and went ahead to build his piston rings.
Great video, I'm glad to see that Honda spends more time on promoting its heritage as I still believe it is driven by principles not only profit figures....maybe naive? But as we have several honda's in the family (tools, cars, motorcycles) I'm always experiencing it in daily use of your products! Keep it like that !
I think that Honda should take a look at their history and stop wasting their time with the Honda Clarity (hydrogen fuel cell) car and focus their research and efforts on battery electric.
in Indonesia, Honda and Yamaha control 92% of all the motorbike sales here, with honda being the largest (around 60%). we're not talking about 10 millions people, like 85% of the whole 250 millions population of indonesia have motorbike. actually, yamaha was considered new challenger to honda after 2000. before 2000, "honda" name was interchangeable with motorbike. so people then would say "where's your honda ?" even what that person owns isn't a honda motorbike
I know this is kind of late to the discussion, but I just picked up my 2023 Indiana-made CR-V recently - my fourth Honda and they just seem to continue to get better and better over time. Thank you for producing these fine machines.
My grandmother was one of those few women that got on earlier with the motorbike in Japan in the 50s. She was born into a real rural agricultural district in Japan, and she was the only girl in the village that rode on one. I still remember as a child I would hop on behind her on her Super Cub.
I think the only engineering complaint I've ever had with Honda was the use of a timing belt instead of a timing chain. Oh, there's also "How the f*ck am I supposed to get a wrench on that?!" Either way, it's an interesting tale.
Wrench245 I have an Acura tsx, 2007, and it's almost as 147k miles. And I never changed the timing belt in it. That's because it doesn't have one. It has a chain. IDK if they put timing belts on Honda's and chains on Acuras. I doubt it but I'm curious
you will b proud that you own a small piece of an amazing company that has been through so much and with amazing history and left a great legacy when u own a Honda..
I stumbled upon a book at my college library about Soichiro. An Engineer was making a presentation and placed a bolt that was way too long for the assembly he was presenting. Soichiro saw this extra length of bolt extending out and slapped the engineer across the face! The engineer recounted, "I was so angry at him - but I knew he was right". That quote has stayed with me for 30 years.
I worked inside Honda R&D for 30 years in Torrance CA. I saw and worked on many projects from the very first NSX to the newest NSX plus many motorcycle, ATV, PWC, and the Honda Jet.

My second bike was a 1971 Honda CB-750 which I used for ten years and over 102,000 miles with simple maintenance (batteries, clutch cable, brakes, chains, one muffler as I had "dropped" the bike, and a valve cover gasket). I never opened the engine. I still ride classic Hondas, all ten of them! The attention to details and innovations are amazing. Thank you Mr. Honda, you are right, you meet the nicest people on a Honda! Ciao, L... riding since 1969!
same for me, started on the trail 90's (3), moved up to SL-100, XL-250, XR-500, XR-350, Magna, all great bikes. I don't ride anymore. Never used their cars as I was too big to fit, but do use there lawn mowers and generators. Never any problem with any of them. I was always a Honda bike man back in the day, owned other Asain bikes but Honda was always the best for me.
Give a shot to Honda newer technology

Went to Honda motorcycle training center in Georgia from South Carolina after getting out of the USN in 1972 and working for a Honda motorcycle dealer. Loved their products and got into their automobiles as well plus the marine and power equipment. Had a Honda motorcycle all my life and that goes for autos since the civic came along in 1973. Thanx Honda San for my Honda dream and all the wonderful people I had met and got to know in my lifetime due to your products and company. Domo Arigato Gozaimashita!
MoogleMy why do so many people hate hondas though. they wanna go for a subaru instead or something else like an infiniti.
maybe people wanna be hipster and buy something else.

10 years ago my Dad owned a Honda Repsol performance bike when I was only 5. It just sat in the back garden not doing much, although I did sometimes watch my Dad work on the bike every now and then. Ever since then i've loved Honda, especially their cars.
It's been 9 years since I bought my Honda shine and it's still running as good as a new one....very proud of you honda
Great work. I had tears in my eyes. Wow, what a story! Honda was my first car.
I love my Honda CRV it’s tough, reliable, fuel efficient and has a remarkable power output for a 4 cylinder engine.
Gabriel Santiago if it’s a 1.5 litre turbo from 2017 on check your oil after 1500 miles, I bet it’s overfilled and reeks of gasoline.

"I don't give a damn about a diploma, all I want is the knowledge." My new favorite quote.
this has been my dream quote ...never knew Honda adopts this as well
I've had a Honda gas power generator for almost 15 years now, and it's save my bacon, several times, during hurricanes, and ice storms that knocked out our power for upwards of a week, it kept my fridge cold, and food from going bad, and during the ice storm kept my family warm by allowing use to run a small heater, and our battery banks/phones charged for emergency broadcast. I'll never own a lesser generator. :-)
Right on ! I also own a high end generator which is simply a jewel of a machine. Also a Gold Wing motorcycle which I can describe honestly as a "magic carpet with a jet engine". Honda, Toyota, and now Kia, are the staples of the best of automotive
design, engineering and production. The rest are simply imitators IMO !!
Vtec saves lives yo!
I've seen super old almost vintage Honda generators still running after years of abuse.
@@TOURMANBOB KIA? A car that you can steal with a USB plug.. Honda and Toyota are light-years ahead of KIA
The Honda commercials of the 80's made me a HUGE fan of Honda cars! I bought one and now have an Acura. Cant see myself getting anything else at this point.
Bring back the Integra, Prelude, CRX. Imagine making these cars back again with Retro-look and Modern twist, with performance similar to today's Type R Civic..? Power of Dreams right?👍
The integra is coming back. Yay.
An engineering company right from the get go. Well built fuel efficacy and reliable. A superb company
I own a 1974 Honda CB550. The bike starts with every kick and the engine is smooth as butter. The look and quality of the machine is better than most of the motorcycles being produced today and it is an incredibly refined vehicle that keeps up with modern day traffic.
I can say the same for my 1979 CB650 and I only has an electric starter. Just a push of a button and she purrs!
Is it a two stroke?
Irfan Malik The Cb550 has an electric start too, but I just like kickstarting better. Adds to the experience.

That sounds like honda is shit so you have to keep replacing them, or you just have too much money for your own good.
Either way you should upgrade to something better, which lasts longer.
Nah man, Hondas are awesome, the reason ive had so many is because i buy swap and sell. Why is that too much money for my own good? because im successful at what im doing i should be hated for it? thats unjust.
I change vehicles / bikes every 6 months,

BikeStuff 36 Honda’s?! Damn that’s quite the hobby you have. I’d be happy with an Accord Euro with a V6 engine but I don’t think that’ll ever happen
Soichiro Honda was truly an engineer by heart and mind. The CVCC system originated from a dream that he had, which he immediately tried and tested right away with fantastic results. Only when catalytic converters were mandatory by law Honda implemented it (since the actual need were already met with clean engines/combustion). Just imagine that, inventing while sleeping.

Honda's S2000 introduced in 1999, with its F20C 2-Liter engine is classified as an EPA LEV (low emissions vehicle). Here is a quote from Wikipedia: "The F20C produces the highest specific output for any naturally aspirated 2.0L piston engine in a car priced under US$100,000, at 125 hp (93 kW) per liter. The F20C held the record for producing the highest specific power output for any mass production naturally aspirated piston engine." In addition, the S2000 was the only mid-engine class to achieve a dead center of yaw and gravity balanced with its 4-wheel independent wishbone suspension. Race drivers say it is extremely fun to drive.
1dir its not mid engine its front engine.....
+Arcane Anomaly
"Mid Engine" is a description from the Wikipedia S2000 page. If you aren't being a Zero-Research Troll and interested to see if the S2000 truly fits the Mid-Engine class, perhaps you may care to check accuracy requirements for Wikipedia articles. Also, take a moment to Google "S2000 Mid-Engine" where you will find information on why the S2000 is a "Mid Engine" class vehicle, where the engine sits entirely between the front and rear axles. If you are adamant that it is a "Front Engine" vehicle then perhaps consider submitting a correction to the Wikipedia article to reduce the "confusion."
"as mentioned in www.s2ki.com, there is a technical definition of mid-engine that states the engine must be mounted behind the passenger compartment in order to be considered a true mid-engine car." i believe s2ki.com has as much credibility as wikipedia. just because the s2k weight distribution is like a mid engine car does not mean it fits the definition better. s2k is obviously a front engine rear wheel drive car despite its design that was purposely balanced to be like a mid engine car. the engine has to be behind the cabin to be true mid engine otherwise its front engine rear drive... if you ever looked at an s2k that would be obvious... instead of quoting from wikipedia
Back to the Era ,it was 1991 Toyota makes the most powerfull 1.6L natural aspirated enjine which is called 4aGE.IT was a power machine producing 160 BHP at 7000RPM. It was 5 cylinder 20 Valve enjine. I think this is powerfull and better than F20C enjine.

Just before Soichiro Honda died in 1991, he published a "Green Manual" . It is an excellent comprehensive document which details Honda's approach to everything from EVs to sustainable procurement. In 1990.
You skipped everything about Honda dominating Formula One in the late 80s with McLaren, and currently dominating MotoGP with Marc Marquez.
javixm the video is about how big is honda (maybe in term of business perspective) and not about how successful is honda in detail..
Unfortunately McLaren Honda last year was a complete joke. :(
and also Honda Civic sales, it is one of the most sold cars ever
The video is called "How big is Honda?" not "History of Honda".
First Toyota and now Honda... My two favorite car manufacturer... Thank you Cold fusion for the in depth analysis.. ♥️♥️♥️ loved it.
They make robots too!
Yes love them too but i wont forget Nissan
Nissan and Infiniti Supercharged and Turbocharged But Nissan motor it started to falling a-parts after they joining venture it with FIAT.
@ColdFusion Excellent video. But you forgot something, a very important one. Ethics.
Honda and his associate Takeo Fujisawa did not made billions for themselves to become ultra rich. They shared the wealth by giving good wages and creating employment. They never got astronomical wages, share parts and so on like any murican CEO bleeding his company even in periods of losses. They payed their taxes. They did not hide money in tax heavens
They decided to retire on 1973 with their well earned pensions, like any employee...Takeo Fujisawa opened an antique shop in Tokyo...Honda busied himself with work connected with the Honda Foundation, a true foundation, not a Trump one.
They use temps and treat them like dirt. Half the workforce are temps who do not get better wages or bonuses
@@johngrauman4208 yep they used terms on some assembly lines, but they were far from being treated poorly as you say. But they did come in on a like temporary visa and could stay up to 3 months. I never saw any mistreatment on any of the assembly lines I visited in Japan. So if your from Africa, or the Philippines or Brazil for example you could get a temp job but it didn't displace Japanese workers.

I always wanted to meet Soichiro Honda. While I I do like Ford, I also am a Honda fan. I like their bikes but I prefer Yamaha. What I really like about Honda is there durability and longevity. This is what I look for in a vehicle. I have converted many people to the Honda brand. I truly enjoyed this quick glimpse into the Honda Motor Company.
There is a bit of fun trivia that wasn't addressed here: when he couldn't make the pistons rings properly, he enrolled to the university, he was failing all the classes except engineering. He specifically wanted to know how to build the pistons rings, so he kept nagging about it to the professor. Once he figured it out, he dropped out from school and went ahead to build his piston rings.
Great video, I'm glad to see that Honda spends more time on promoting its heritage as I still believe it is driven by principles not only profit figures....maybe naive? But as we have several honda's in the family (tools, cars, motorcycles) I'm always experiencing it in daily use of your products! Keep it like that !

in Indonesia, Honda and Yamaha control 92% of all the motorbike sales here, with honda being the largest (around 60%).
we're not talking about 10 millions people, like 85% of the whole 250 millions population of indonesia have motorbike.
actually, yamaha was considered new challenger to honda after 2000. before 2000, "honda" name was interchangeable with motorbike.
so people then would say "where's your honda ?" even what that person owns isn't a honda motorbike

My grandmother was one of those few women that got on earlier with the motorbike in Japan in the 50s. She was born into a real rural agricultural district in Japan, and she was the only girl in the village that rode on one. I still remember as a child I would hop on behind her on her Super Cub.
I think the only engineering complaint I've ever had with Honda was the use of a timing belt instead of a timing chain. Oh, there's also "How the f*ck am I supposed to get a wrench on that?!" Either way, it's an interesting tale.
Wrench245
Some of Honda has timing chain
like the Acura TSX
Wrench245 I have an Acura tsx, 2007, and it's almost as 147k miles. And I never changed the timing belt in it. That's because it doesn't have one. It has a chain. IDK if they put timing belts on Honda's and chains on Acuras. I doubt it but I'm curious

I stumbled upon a book at my college library about Soichiro. An Engineer was making a presentation and placed a bolt that was way too long for the assembly he was presenting. Soichiro saw this extra length of bolt extending out and slapped the engineer across the face! The engineer recounted, "I was so angry at him - but I knew he was right". That quote has stayed with me for 30 years.
