Yeah honda has a good rep but i don't think they are pumping out enough bikes.

Also rumor that I've herd to is that, some of the bikes stop by japan before coming here as well.

Im sure that there are some parts that are coming from Japan, and pretty much a lot of the automakers are cripple due to parts shortages, even some US plants are suffering from the parts shortages.

About them shipping bikes to Japan then to where we are at (USA) I don't know about that, it just seems too "extra" and that might be pointless and add on unwanted costs/fee's that can be avoided by shipping directly too America. If they are doing this, it's not the smartest thing to do.

The CBR250R is an affordable bike, they have to do things to make it affordable yet make profit off of it.

Actually, Thailand's need to ship off the Pacfic Coast and head past Japan, so why not stop there, and have the bikes inspect or what ever is needed, Just a possibility. As they travel across the pacific and into ports like Vancouver or any west coast port. So regardless they need to pass by Japan. It may be extra but im just saying from what i herd.

Or maybe they stop off in japan to finalize some paper work or what not. point is bike are delayed and it does take time. Plus Honda doesn't have their own ship to move thing they have shipping companies with huge bikes and prob have to make stops at different ports to drop off certain crates and products.
