Topic: Honda Sales Figures?

[Scooterboy]

I just picked up a 1959 Honda Benly yesterday and was wondering if anybody knew where I could look up american honda sales figures for the bikes?  I know they only had 70 dealers in 1960 so I imagine there can't be many of these in circulation.  Any help or links would be appreciated!

This is a subject I've broached repeatedly with American Honda directly.
Their answer is always a firm "All sales and production numbers are considered to be proprietary information...."

In other words, they ain't gonna tell us - they don't care that we're talking about 40-50 year old bikes, they won't tell us, period.

I was able to find sales figures for the 1959 CB92 off a website, there were only 14 of those sold in the US in 1959.  I have a C92 Benly though and was wondering what the sales firgures for that model were.  I imagine that they are not that different than the CB92 though.

The CB92 was a lot rarer than the C92/95 (or CA92/95).  They were more pricey and not many were available.
