So I found this story below and couldn’t really believe this, but I guess times are changing:

Honda of America Manufacturing Inc. on Wednesday said it plans to discontinue motorcycle production at its oldest U.S. plant next year.

The company, an arm of American Honda Motor Co., will stop production in spring 2009 at the 450-employee Marysville Motorcycle Plant, its only North American motorcycle producer. The plant’s employees, part of a 13,000-worker base at the company’s five production plants in Central Ohio, will be moved to other operations as motorcycle production is shifted to a new plant in Kumamoto, Japan. Motorcycle production at a plant in Hamamatsu, Japan, will also be consolidated at the Kumamoto works.
