Honda employees are all literally chill guys, i know cuz when I went to my local Honda motorcycle dealer, the sales there were so chill, didn't even hesitate to let me try the CB650r, while Ducati's are like"Comeback when u got the money" My first motorcyle is gonna def be a Honda.
@@Ton_van_Dorst That's next level haha. Hardly any Honda employees ever get send to Japan I have been told. Also Honda Japan factory visits and recording is also almost not done......but momma didn't raise no quitter 🙂
@@LifeofSmokey In 2019 a colleague of mine drove to Japan with a Honda XBR 500, he went all the way to Vladivastok and then the "ferry" to Japan. He tried to visit the Honda factory but was not allowed to go in...
@@Ton_van_Dorst Drove to Japan.....DAMN!!! I'm to scared in some countries , wouldn't dare eat some of the foods on the way there and starve to death lol.
I have to say, when I fisrt came accross your content, I found you to be a bit much, but this was a great video. As some one that wants to also make you tube videos for a living, I definatly look up to you and others like you. Keep em coming smokey. thanks for the hard work.
Hey Dean! Been doing UA-cam for 12 years now but this is the first channel where I show myself. And you are 100% right , sometimes I can be a bit much that's my adhd because I never drink caffeine 😅. But for me that's something to work on 😊
@LifeofSmokey thanks for taking time to reply. Would be cool to meet with you one day. I live in the netherlands, (originaly from the south of england) so, not too far from you. till then, ill be watching 👍
I absolutely love our SH125’s. We have a black 2023 and a translucent green 2024. There’s just something joyful and carefree about them. Thinking about getting an SH350 but am a bit afraid it won’t have the same feeling and will be too much of a ‘serious’ motorbike. And it’s a pity they only come in the cheap looking matt colors.
it is sad that we have nothing made in Greece .The working conditions here are terrible! At least in italy i saw some smiles that made me happy here we have unpaid overtime the state that you work in the system whatever they like for example they state that you work 20 hours a week but you work 40 or more they have your qr code card and they hit it themselves printed on a paper they scan it . Anyway not to bring you down but have a nice day my friends! ( i do not work in honda these are just the general way things go around here not in honda but in other places and other jobs)
Smokey question, as a top youtube host what are your thoughts on Ducati Pikes Peak (2023/2024) models. I am looking at used ones and curious why I am finding a lot of 2023 with about 2400 miles (Cycle Trader) & motohunt) being sold. Is there something that drives this or people trading in for the RS or Honda? Any insight you have would be helpful.
As far as I know there are no real issues with those bikes at those miles. The valve that's somewhat expensive is way later. A Pikes Peak is a beautiful and expensive motorcycle. Most people also buy it because it's a comfy corner cutting machine so it's not really a long touring bike if you ask me. The normal Multistrada or grand tour and adventure will have way more miles on them as the Pike Peaks ones. That's my opinion 😊
My Honda Forza 125 was built there - but not really hight quality factory - had some issues. Worse was, that after 3 years i had to replace whole rear wheel (750 Euro) . Luckyli Honda made it for free ... THX. But i still stick with Honda. My next Honda ADV350 will be also built there. So PLS do it better guys next time ... 🙂🙏
The HONDA Italia production plant in the Val di Sangro started in 1978 with a 125cc motorcycle and continues to this day at the Val di Sangro factory with the HONDA CB125F motorcycle, a successful ubiquitous export model. Unfortunately, no real mention whatsoever was made about the HONDA CB125F. Probably not worth the 'puff' of an ego.......
Love all the 125's but it was not being build on the assembly line at the moment. I did however record a whiteboard by accident that said "MY 2027 Honda CB125". And if I ever want to get invited again by Honda ever again it's best not to talk about what I have seen. It's one of the first things off the day I have seen so my brain did not want to say anything about that bike anymore as I was to scared to spoil anything 😅🙈. I'm just really careful about embargo stuff.
Sneak me a front left indicator and front left hand shield, because this bloody ADV scooter doesn’t come with a parking brake mine rolled off the side stand and fell over!
The assembly line at the moment was the Forza so most of it was that bike. Some parts are ADV for when they switch up the assembly line. The X-ADV750 is build in Japan
Kalau dari sisi penjualan aku yakin penjualan Hoda Beat mengalahkan dengan telak penjualan skutik honda Italia ini. Walaupun secara harga beat jauh lebih mur6
Thanks for the video, Smokey.
Wow i love Honda 😍😍😍
I love how happy they all look
Must be with a chef cook that makes delicious food 😁

I like the old ones.
Se levasse a visita a sério e com comentários sérios e técnicos teria aprendido alguma coisa sobre a minha lindíssima Forza 350.
Mostra a fábrica da Honda no Brasil, onde é produzido o motor DCT da Africa Twin, único lugar fora do Japão que se faz motores DCT
Oh I didn't know that 😳
I thought they come without liquids inside like oil and everything else. How they start the engine dry ?
Nope they have liquids inside , only a tiny bit of fuel 😊
Cool.👌👌
New Honda CB125F made in Italy 🎉
Wuih josss gandos cak, ada Forza dan ADV juga disana. Tapi kok ga ada Honda Beat ya cak ?
Depends on the assembly line what they are making 😊
Where did you get that shirt? Love it 👌
Honda Mertens in Bouchout Antwerpen 😁
Definitely Japan!
Where can i buy white t-shirt with word Honda? I think about this same t-shirt from your video. This is excaly what i need.
Honda Mertens Boechout is the dealership you can get it from. Google it 😊👌
Mamá mía buen video jjj
I have a Silverwing 600, not sure where it's made, maybe here :)
I have a silverwing 400, the 400 and the 600 are made in this factory.
Honda Bali 50cc, best scooter!

Mooi. En hebben ze iets gezegd over de mogelijke nieuwe Goldwing 2025?
Nee verkeerde fabriek daarvoor 😁
Esaf, as circulated in Indonesia .
Can you go to the KTM factory just to see how they do it?
Don't think KTM will spend any money on me now flying me to the factory 😅
Show us the Japan factory!
Vertraue niemals einem schlanken Chefkoch!
Wow 😮
I thought they were built in Japan and Thailand

Any staff there who ride a Ducati to work, will be...fired!😆😆
What. The Ducati will break down and they will have to borrow a Honda bike to get to work
Visit the Fantic factory
Can u go to the Harley Davidson factory.?
I was gonna say for you to visit KTM's factory but... 🤣
Not sure if that will be in Austria or China in the next couple years lol
but what? They are currently producing motorcycles in Austria. I drive past there every day and you can see it in the parking lot
If KTM goes broke and Chinese buys them what happens then? 😅
i owned the top scooter at 5:09 98 x8rs i think, didnt see my crf 450s, cbr600rrs and cbr1000rrs on there
Haha nope most of them are from Japan 😁. All the lighter stuff was made here. I wish I lived back in 1980-1990 and could visit that factory 😂👌🔥
Go to Japan to show motorcycles factories 💯👍🙌
Sneak me a front left indicator and front left hand shield, because this bloody ADV scooter doesn’t come with a parking brake mine rolled off the side stand and fell over!
Haha damn that sucks 🙈
its more a demo of that self loved guy as informations about the factory
[ Like ] , but I was expecting to see the actual builds of the Forza and ADV350. 😐
The assembly line at the moment was the Forza so most of it was that bike. Some parts are ADV for when they switch up the assembly line. The X-ADV750 is build in Japan
@@LifeofSmokey Noted. I was interested for the XADV750. :)
Also took couple weeks before I got the footage as everything needed to be approved. Some videos are also taken out for a reason 😅
cb500 and cb900

Don smokey rossi
Schade. Hätte gerne mehr vom Rahmen bis zum Endprodukt gesehen. Der deutsche Kommentar ist unterirdisch.
Yeah the translation by UA-cam is pretty bad sorry.
Es la pregunta que yo me hago,porque los japoneses y Europa piensan es sus trabajadores su bienestar y en latinoamerica no
Per fortuna ce questa fabbrica Honda che da lavoro a noi Italiani. Perche le nostre fabbriche di auto 🚗 stanno chiudendo. Un vero problema.
The girl at case packing is in love with you. Are you two going to marry and have kids?
Hell no , not planning on learning Italian haha 🤣
@@LifeofSmokey😂😂
Show the factory and not the kitchen!
a cbr 900 from 1992 or 94
😂who are they rooting for in motogp?
All of Honda perfect but turkey s service is not good
La traducción espantosa con esa IA
Yeah sorry that's UA-cam working on it 😅
