I think he misspoke. They are made in Taiwan. Apparently the bike is more-or-less a clone of a Honda CB400SS. I'm not sure to what degree (if any) Honda was involved, i.e. did they license the design of the engine, etc.

Edit: [url=http://www.scooterfile.com/oems/genuine-scooter-company/genuine-g400c-motorcycle-in-detail/]This article reveals that the bike is in fact made in China by Sineray, who previously manufactured the CB400SS for Honda.

Speaking of the engine, apparently it's a single-cylinder with two exhaust valves / ports which is why it looks like a parallel twin.

Interesting review of the working prototype from [url=http://www.scooterfile.com/oems/genuine-scooter-company/exclusive-first-ride-genuine-g400c-motorcycle/]scooterfile.com.

Nice ground work Stichill. Based on previous readings, the bike appears to hold some level of quality and/or curiosity and enthusiasm. I suspect equivalent class Japanese return/retro models are concerned over competitive pricing.
