Hondas became more popular when they introduced the CB versions which were sportier. The CB92 is particularly sort after now.
My mate had a Benly ( C92 or a CB 92 can't recall exact model) when I had a Bantam ( what was I thinking of ? ) - he rode it everywhere flat out in every gear and it never complained (don't know if he ever changed the oil either as he wasn't very interested in maintenance) - that bike took abuse that would have killed a Brit bike in short order.
