Three of the most American build brands of motorcycles:

(1) Indian.

(2) Victory.

The next one will surprise a lot of people.

(3) Honda. Seriously. Mostly made with US manufactured parts and mostly assembled in Marysville, Ohio and Lincoln, Alabama by American workers — who incidentally rejected the UAW’s attempt to unionize them.

Not sure about Harley — have seen conflicting reports.

This is based on the last time I looked into this. If I’m wrong, welcome a Freeper correction, but please be nice. I’m a sensitive guy. LOL

Note re Honda: that’s for bikes sold in the US. Not sure about bikes sold outside of the US.

Honda does not build any motorcycles in the US.

Dont forget Triumph bikes. I have one. The name may be British but the Brit president and founder he moved to America many years ago and set up the plant in Ga. because 1) he fell in love with an American woman (naturally) and 2) production costs are damn cheaper than the UK.

Honda?
Would you fly a Japanese flag in front of your house if it was made in America?
