Well I never! Honda's made in Suzuki Factory!!

(1/1)

Rozabikes Tim:
Just reading an article as below re CB750 production demands. Used a Suzuki factory!!

"It became clear that the production of the original sand-molded crankcases would never meet the rate requirements of mass production, so the factory switched over to producing crankcases of a metal, die-cast construction. The bikes were such a hit with the riding public that the production of engines and chassis was moved to a Suzuki factory in mid-1971."

Full article FYI.

That makes sense Ash, it was the wording that made me think as it says "a Suzuki factory" not their or the etc.
