When I bought my first Harley back in the 90's I had been riding Japanese bikes since 1965. I got caught up in the patriotic "Buy American" fever and decided to buy an "American" bike. It didn't take long to figure out that a lot of the stuff on that bike was made offshore, as was most of the junk sold in the motorclothes and accessories boutiques being added to all the dealerships. Fast forward to current times, and we see that Harley has followed the lead of so many other "American" companies and outsourced more and more components while still waving the American flag in the ads. And if you wander through the boutiques these days, you are hard pressed to find anything that isn't imported from the cheapest possible source and then sold for top dollar.
When the Goldwings were being assembled in Ohio they had about the same amount of domestic content as a Harley. And the Goldwing design came from the Honda USA folks, not some guy in Japan. So an argument could be made that the GW was every bit as "American" as an E'Glide. If someone prefers to not consider a Honda, fine. Fortunately we still have some freedom of choice. But anyone who blindly refuses to consider a bike from any company other than Harley due to country of origin is missing out on a lot of excellent products and is also paying more for less IMHO.
