SachsGS:
Just read that a significant number of Triumph motorcycles are now being made in Thailand, mainly the twins I have been told.

shanes:
no just about all the range are made there they have been making them there for years , the new models they build the line in the uk run it for 12 months to make sure all is ok then ship it all the thailand and start making them there .

the factory is about 500 meters from Cobra that make all the carbon for Ferrari , Lambo , Audi , Ducati and a lot of KTM stuff , also just around the corner is the new ohlins factory making shocks and fork kits for the smaller bikes . Kawasaki factory is about 45 min away they make most of the Kawasaki range under 600 cc there

SachsGS:
Shanes, why have these companies set up shop in Thailand as apposed to, say, China or Taiwan?

shanes:
thailand has some very good tax incentives for overseas companies and the quality of work and the wages are very good to help profitability .

Toyota , honda and nissan have some huge factories there , most cars are all shipped internationally

factoryX:
Easy, no unions..
