Honda to Source Larger-Displacement Motorcycle Parts from India

This is due to the nasty sour economy, so it is not entirely unexpected. Of course, it also makes sense, unfortunately. Honda of Japan may begin to import parts from India and other nations where they have operating factories to save money. Costs have become so high and income so low that they may have no choice. It is not official, yet, though. Knowing Honda, though, it is very unlikely that quality will suffer.
