As far as I am aware all triple engines are manufactured at Hinckley.As for all other bits being made in Thailand what about all the major parts that all manufacturers source externally - like brakes,wheels,tyres,suspension,electrics.tanks,sea ts (the list is long). This leaves sundry metalware to be made in Thailand. I understand that the big 4 from Japan all have substantial numbers of parts made in 'the east'. It's the law of economics. At least Hinckley is employing 650 or so people in the UK plant(s). Long may this continue.
