    Agree. CRAZY price for that motorcycle. Does it come with a "reach around"?

    But hey... if we are going to expect all manufacturing jobs to return to America.. this is a taste of how prices may increase; across the product spectrum.

    Goldwings were made in Marysville, Ohio for quite a few years, wonder if Honda will consider moving production back to the U.S.?

    I wouldn't doubt that quite a few companies will consider bringing a manufacturing facility to this country if Trump institutes an import tax on goods brought in. Something this country has been lacking for a long time.

    Might still be cheaper to pay the import duty than pay the tax on the imported parts

    VTXs were made there before the wings.

    My dealer owner, who has since passed away from a blood clot at 38 years old, "Ouch", told me last fall that he had attended a meeting in Japan with Honda people that were discussing moving production of big road bikes back to the USA. Apparently the state of Kentucky had tempted them with a huge tax break to build a new plant in their state.....Never heard another word about this since, so it probably falls in the "rumor" category....Although my dealer was not one to spread rumors or talk gossip!!!....Who knows, only the Shadow knows!!!!....Ride safe

    One would think the U.S. must be the largest market for the big touring bikes?? Or at least North America??
