Honda to halt US motorcycle production in 2009
Marysville Motorcycle Plant produces Gold Wing 1800, VTX 1800and VTX 1300 V-Twin cruisers.

CBR's will continue production in Japan.yey

 

It looks like that plant is not generating enough for Honda to still have around. It is good that they are going to create jobs for those 450factory workers at other facilities.

 

Werd. Good for them honoring their workers like that. I think I'll apply to Honda when I'm done with school.

 

maybe now they'll let me drive on their test track since it's only 25 miles from here...

Goldwing test track??? Freaking Awesome!!!

And Honda FTW. Do you think "Harley-Davidson" would treat their workers that way? Okay well I guess I can't say I blame them. If I owned Harley and had to deal with lazy *** Union workers while trying to compete with the jap market I'd be grumpy too.

Tough break for the subsideraries though.

 

The test track is not only for Honda. The Transportation Research Center (TRC) is proving grounds for vehicle testing.

Spec sheet on 7.5 High Speed Test Track:

 

Why would anyone with a sportbike want to go around in a circle? Doh!

 

Zoom in on the picture. 1 appears to have a 2mile straight away(Imagine the speeds you could get there) with two road courses(one looks really tight) and a drag strip.

 

think i might apply for a job there as a part time test driver. pay is ****ty but it'd be something fun to do on the weekends...

 

My buddy worked for Honda as an engineer in Ohio and loved it. Says they are a good company to work for.
