BMW made in China, Harley Davidson made in Taiwan, KTM made in India, Ducati made in Thailand... where was your motorcycle actually made? This rant looks into brand hating prejudice and our perceptions of quality based on the badge on the bike. Triumph, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki are not free of this trend of manufacturing motorcycles outside the parent country. The world is truly an international community now with commerce that stretches across the globe and blurs national and brand identities.
Enjoy my rant that was started by the comment "Chinese bike, no thanks" posted on my social media
I also look into how Chinese is the MotoMorini X-Cape. Is it a European motorcycle build in China or a Chinese motorcycle with a European brand name on the tank.
