If you spend time browsing showrooms, classifieds or riding through different regions, 2009 is a year that still shows up on many lists for its variety of Honda machines. Whether you’re checking a garage find or comparing specs online, a concise list makes it faster to spot what fits your riding style and budget.
There are 25 2009 Honda Motorcycle Models, ranging from CB1000R, XR650L to demonstrate the lineup’s street-to-off-road span. For each model, you’ll find below the columns Class, Engine (cc), Market/Region to help compare purpose, displacement and where each model was sold—you’ll find below.
Which models from 2009 are best for city commuting versus off-road use?
Look at the Class and Engine (cc) columns to choose: smaller-displacement sport/naked or commuter classes suit city use for fuel economy and maneuverability, while dual-sport and off-road classes with larger torque bands (like the XR series) handle trails and rough roads; the list below groups those distinctions so you can match a model to your riding needs.
How can I confirm if a specific 2009 Honda model was sold in my country?
Check the Market/Region column first, then verify with the VIN/model code against Honda’s parts or service guides and local dealer records; regional trims or emissions options often differ, so comparing the listed market with dealer data or an owners’ forum is the quickest way to confirm compatibility.
