That's very cool. Thanks for posting.

I went there once when I was a on a business trip. Me and a colleague had the place to ourselves. No one else was there. It is a bit difficult to get to (at least from where we were). It is situated at the Twin Ring Motegi track. Awesome place all the way around. One of my many pictures:

^^^ If you have more...would love to see them.

The guide, in the video, showed and talked about the CB750. I bought a new black one in 78. I remember before buying, reading in Cycle World (not sure if that name is correct)...."Honda's Magic Lantern Lights Again". I knew then that I was going to buy one.

I was hoping that the video would include a first year Prelude. I'm sure it was there someplace.

I have a lot of pictures but they are on my work computer. I will post more next week.

I haven't watched the video, but the museum has 4 floors and genuine pieces of history everywhere. Hundreds and hundreds of motorcycles, cars, race cars. Even an exhibit for Honda's robotic technology. And you can walk right up to everything. No fences, barricades, etc. Of course, typical Japanese culture demands respect, so we didn't touch anything.

It’s an Insight. My son had one at the time, so I took a pic.

In the video, I liked the very early motorcycle that he built using a bed warmer for a fuel tank!

Great pics....Thanks!
If I ever get over there...it would surely be on my list.

I would guess that I've owned at least a dozen Honda motorcycles...from the 50cc to the 900CB
And five cars. Civic, Accord, and three Preludes.
All were trouble-free and fun. I still own the 98 Prelude.

edit: I forgot about my dd Fit...six cars!
