Gold Wing prayers unanswered
Honda closes motorcycle plant in OhioEveryone knew it was coming, but that hasn’t stopped a few people shedding a reflective tear with confirmation the last Gold Wing has been produced in the States.
The iconic touring behemoth, which even comes with an air bag these days, has always proudly worn its ‘Made in America’ moniker, but production will move across to Japan now that Honda is closing its motorcycle plant in Marysville, Ohio.
The 330,000 square feet facility has produced the Gold Wing since 1981, with over a million units pumped out – and I reckon I’ve seen most of them at the Ulysses AGMs in Australia…
The Ohio plant also produced cars, SUVs, engines and transmissions.
