Honda Gyro

Motorcycles and Powered Two- and Three-Wheelers

Honda sells the Gyro, a family of three wheeled motorcycles that are small, mostly in Japan, and often uses them for deliveries or express service there. These vehicles are tilting three-wheelers that combine a tricycle's stopped and low-speed stability with a leaning main body for stability while turning at speed. They resemble a scooter with a small hinged rear pod containing the engine and two drive wheels, a configuration developed and patented by George Wallis of G. L. Wallis and Son in Surbiton, Surrey, in 1966. The Gyro line, aimed at cargo, began in 1982 and found a market quickly, with all three variants still in production in 2015. This site lists a page for every model year in the span covered here, each focused on what changed in that year, grouped into 3 generations: the two-stroke models (1982 to 2007 model years); the four-stroke models (2008 to 2020 model years); the electric Gyro e: (2021 model year onward). Each year page links to its generation, to this model page, to the previous model year and to Honda.
