Well Harley are really prostituting their brand and soul with the introduction of a 340cc parallel twin designed and made in China. Its not beyond the realms of possibility that all Hd are made in China in the future.
Street 750 and 500 motorcycles have been made in India for about 6 years now.
And they both look like fine motorcycles.....NOT!
Yeah they not real comfortable to ride either, took a 750 for a spin, I'd rather walk or ride a Honda 90 step through.
Having got back this year from custom shows in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand this year, two of which I was an invited guest and judge I can tell you these are the new markets, big emerging cashed up middle classes (still generally lower income than western nations though) who want bikes and they want Harley’s, they absolutely love the whole customising scene and they love the big twins but taxation and income don’t generally allow them to get the big bikes.
I got a bit of stink with the wifes boxter not being a real porsche, it gets called a "the hyundi" among other things, mainly by guys that own Holden Cruse or Ford Mavarick
the Macan is getting the rub now, I had one as a loan car during a service, they are a nice car
to replace with a new Boxter it around $140K, not a huge amount of money these days, compared to a 911 $348k
there are cheaper Porsche's
