Honda Officially Ends Gold Wing Motorcycle Production

The day has finally come where Honda has ended production of the Gold Wing motorcycle in America. Honda had announced last year that they were to end production at the motorcycle plant in Marysville, Ohio. All two-wheel vehicles will now have to be imported from Japan.

The Gold Wing has been assembled at the plant since 1981, since then, more than one million Honda Gold Wing’s have been assembled at the plant. There are those who think that Honda have made a mistake closing the plant, as this was to be Honda’s 50th year in America.

According to AutoBlog, Honda plan to expand its automotive manufacturing footprint in the U.S., Honda currently produce around 76 percent of all of its vehicles on U.S. soil, but we will now have to take the Gold Wing of that list.
