That is the plan according to Honda's global strategy. The Spanish Montesa factory will only be used for light capacity bikes, the Italian plant for the bigger displacement bikes. But Honda has surprised us often

I spoke today with my dealer, he said wait till October

My understanding is production starts for Europe in the last quarter of this year, for the rest of world in the new year.

It is coming, but not before Christmas for us downunder...

Beware.... As a result of TTIP you too will be forced to eat hormones and start growing again in all three dimensions! You will find that a Goldwing is a dinky toy!
