Honda Dax

THE YEAR of 1969 was, on the whole, a good one. It witnessed the release of Led Zeppelin’s second album, the Rolling Stones’ Let It Bleed, Easy Rider, the Woodstock Festival, man on the moon, the list goes on… Hell, even Sesame Street made its debut in 1969.

And as if all that wasn’t enough for one year’s excitement, Honda then decided to unleash to the world a motorcycle that would remain among the quirkiest ever built: the Honda Dax.

Launched in 1969, the Honda Dax wasn’t a racer, it wasn’t a workhorse, it could barely be described as a ‘road bike’ but it was hugely popular simply because it was fun. It was fun to ride, fun to hear and fun to look at.
