Triumph and Bajaj (an Indian motorcycle company that also produces the KTM small-displacement series) and Indian production models.
That’s why Triumph
- United Kingdom: TFC and exclusive models.
- Thailand: All current models.
- India: Newly developed 200-750cc model.
It would be great to produce bikes in the above three countries. (It looks like Triumph have a CKD factory in Brazil.) It’s said that Triumph would continue to do all your research and design in the UK.
Triumph is focusing on design and development.

Moving to a production area, lowering costs, and spending money on such places.

BMW produces some engines in China, DUCATI produces scramblers and other parts in Thailand, KTM produces small displacements motorcycles in India, and the middle class produces them in China.
Surprisingly, most overseas manufacturers are starting to produce overseas. However, I feel like some models.
- Honda: Thai production is high for middle and lower displacement motorcycles.
- Kawasaki: Most liters or less is produced in Thailand (excluding Z900RS, W800, ZX-6R).
- Yamaha: About Japan. YZF-R25 series and XMAX produced in Indonesia, 155cc or less overseas.
- Often Suzukis Japenese GSR250 series is made in China, Bergman 200 is in Thailand, scooters are mostly made in Taiwan and China, and Gixars are in India.
- Models for Honda and Kawasaki put together overseas.
- For Yamaha and Suzuki, 250cc or less put together in other countries, but the higher classes are Japan made.
Japanese manufacturers have increased the number of models produced overseas, and the proportion may increase in the future.
Recently Japanese overseas production vehicles seem to have good quality and inspection.
