WTH? What's the rest of the story? I admit, I haven't paid much attention to the market since I bought my GS-850 in 1980.

What is causing Honda to go back to the pre-1979 way of manufacturing these motorcycles (Gold Wings to begin with, if memory serves) in Japan for export, and quit building them right in the middle of their biggest market? What am I missing here?

Come to think of it, I haven't seen too many Gold Wings lately but, is the entire Honda line hurting?

I read somewhere that Honda North America sales were down 18% last year.

I’m trying to get some solid motorcycle sales figures over the last couple of years...Anybody have any ideas where to look?

What are they doing? financing 0% down, on an ARM for 30 years? Guess it’s time bail out the crotch rocket riders.
