first country and year of motorcycle production for Honda...outside of Japan

Trav-i · « **Reply #80 on:** October 24, 2011, 06:21:39 PM »

1980 Goldwing 1100. They were made in Marysville Ohio, until the 2012 model. Now they are made back in Japan.

I was lucky enough to tour the Marysville plant when they were doing the Wing. It was an awesome sight to see all those Wings lined up and moving down the assembly line. To bad they had to pull from the USA.

The year was 1963...the country was Belgium

What were the colors of each of the pre-production bikes at the their famous dealer convention introduction in Las Vegas in 1969?

Trav-i · « **Reply #84 on:** October 25, 2011, 07:00:38 AM »

There were three different color bikes. One was dark green with a gold stripe on the top of the tank (it was the closest to the actual production bikes). The second was a silver with a dark red stripe, and the last one was an all blue bike.

Think there was a very purdy Orange with a white stripe also.

736cc · « **Reply #86 on:** October 25, 2011, 07:57:09 AM »

Candy ruby red, candy blue-green and candy green (ala K1) all w/ sunny gold stripes. The candy gold w/ white stripe was shown in Europe only.

ekpent · « **Reply #87 on:** October 25, 2011, 08:05:54 AM »

Whoops not orange,gold. Guess this one was showed in England in 1969,the Gold Brighton show bike. Yummy. Its still around

Hinomaru · « **Reply #88 on:** October 25, 2011, 08:32:55 AM »

I always wondered if this was the same bike as Ekpent posted above?

In this picture, note how the UK style front and rear number plates are now present. The handlebars, taillight, master cylinder have been changed. While the unique pointed style turn signal lenses and oil tank cap remain the same. The photo date shows 1969.

I find it amazing that the bike's master cylinder would have faded that much in less than a year.

I also see the early frame with horn on left.
Different shaped front caliper, oil cap, valvecover, and I wonder if the m/c has a hard or rubber line.
Looks to me (now) like the gold color was in the works, but probably die to response was intriduced later at the 19,*** serial numbers

Trav-i got it right. You ask the next question.

The K0 master cylinder and front caliper were silver from the factory. They went black in late K0 production.

Pretty sure most of the sandcasts had black masters and silver calipers.

Maybe only the proto's had the silver master.
You can see it here.

Well, not quite: my mentor Jim Chamberlain had a sandcast in 1969, with silver both. And, my first K1, in summer 1970, had silver master and black caliper. My K2, also a very early one, has black both.

Toss a question out there Tews...

Tews19 · « **Reply #97 on:** October 29, 2011, 07:44:27 AM »

Alright, I am sure this will get answered almost immediately. What was the 1,000,000 Honda Motorcycle produced? Need to include model and where it was released.

Johnie · « **Reply #98 on:** October 29, 2011, 07:46:41 AM »

I will have to dig for that answer...

Johnie · « **Reply #99 on:** October 29, 2011, 07:50:45 AM »

How about the 1996 Honda GW Aspencade from the Marysville, OH plant. I toured that plant and it was so cool.
