According to Canada’s Globe and Mail newspaper, Honda Motor will stop making motorcycles in Ohio next year and transfer the work to Japan, pulling the plug on its first US plant, the 330,000sq ft Marysville plant, built in 1979 to make Gold Wing touring bikes.
The work will be shifted to a plant in Japan that can produce bikes more efficiently, the paper said, while its 450 workers will remain with the company, helping make cars, trucks, engines and parts and doing other jobs at Honda’s operations in Ohio.
