A video just came out about the africa twin assembly.
The kumamoto plant has no doubt the same methodology than hamamatsu where our bikes come from, still fascinating to see how things are put together without any finger prints or scratches anywhere, parts are presented at the right time at the right place and the right way up.

I like the part where the assembler hits the swingarm bolt home with his plastic mallet, he must have practiced a lot.....
And haven't seen the final roller bank test where the exhaust fumes extractor lifts out of the floor after the bike rolls over the top of it.
A constant stream of hard focused work that i can appreciate when zooming along without any worries.
