Took 3 weeks from there to California then a truck to North Carolina. Box said Made in Japan. Could have been made elsewhere and inventoried / shipped from Japan.

It was one hell of a well made box. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gv550 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Here's a photo of my bike in the box, on my truck on the way to the dealer for uncrating and assembly. 2 2019 Tracer GT, Ontario, Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinky Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 My GT was mostly made in Japan and partially assembled in Malaysia. This is to get around the crazy import duties imposed by the tax man here. What I was told by the dealer (so consider the source) is that he frame, suspension, brakes, and motor are made and assembled in Japan. The wheels, and body fenders, turn signals, and small items are bolted on at a facility in Malaysia.So the stripped down bike comes from Japan and all the bling is put on here. That makes sense to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
