The Taliban prefer Honda, says report
WikiLeaks report shows US Army saw motorcycles as 'Taliban equivalent of Humvees'
A WIKILEAKS document has revealed that the US Army struggled to battle Taliban fighters who used motorcycles to cover ground quickly.
The report states that the Taliban preferred to use Chinese-built Hondas and used the motorcycles as a mobile launch platform for rocket-propelled grenades and machine gun attacks. The Taliban would ride in pairs, with one riding and the other manning a machine gun or grenade launcher to strike coalition forces.
The report states that the Taliban opt for Hondas as they are reliable and economical.
