I don't exactly know why as I'm not in the market for one, but for whatever reason I'm interested to see how things work out for this model. I was surprised to read that this bike was being made in Japan.
I was assuming that they would be producing this bike in Thailand at the price point they're competing at. Obviously not a big deal in the over all scheme of things. I simply have a preference for Honda's made in Japan, if for no other reason than the company's heritage. One more nice surprise from this new bike — I hope it does well for them.
Hi there and terribly sorry to revive an old thread, but where exactly did you read that they're manufactured in Japan? I bought one recently here in Ottawa and the sticker clearly says made in Thailand. I'm really curious about this!
Sorry chief, it's been long enough ago that I can't recall where I picked up the info. But it did stand out to me at the time.
