    If there is no 2014 F6B, I would hope that it is only due to the (rumored) plant moving to TN and be back in 2015.

    F8B???? Ole Chit!!!
    I doubt that the plant would move back unless Honda is getting serious .gov money to do so which is always possible but would normally be plastered everywhere for all to see.

    They moved back to Japan because of the declining world market and needing work for the Japanese plants and workers, they moved lots of the high volume low cost Asian market motorcycle production that was being done in Japan to Thailand etc to accommodate moving the US and European production in Japan, they would of spent serious coin doing this they would need serious incentives to move it only 2 years later but as the global market has not really changed I cannot see they would have work for the Japanese workers to which the loyalty must lie as per local tradition.

    Yes indeed, in Japan it has been the case that you went to work for a big company for life, and pretty much they owned you but took care of you (In a Japanese way) sadly because of the world the way it is this is now changing although it seems companies like Honda are doing the best to keep people working at home.

    2014 model

    as a dealer we have not hurd anything about honda not making a 2014. we are out of gl1800 goldwings, and thery are not avaiable to order, so i would find it hard to believe that honda would not make a 2014 goldwing, and run the f6b at the same time, the gl1800 is a very good selling model, in all trim levals. dale
