I beleave that the Rodies are made here in the U.S. At least thats what A dealer told me..


They are manufactured at two plants, one in Cambodia and one in Vietnam. Yamaha does not have a manufacturing or assembly faculty in the US. Noting wrong with that, Low cost country sourcing is very common in many goods we use everyday. Including components in HD, Fords, GM the computers we are all on right now.

Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation is located about 30 minutes south of Atlanta in Newnan, Georgia. We employ over 1000 people in our facility, which consists of three plants. We manufacture 4 recreational product lines including Golf Cars, All Terrain Vehicles (ATV's), Personal Watercraft and SidexSide utility vehicles.

Re:Harley Davidson YIKES! 2 Years, 10 Months ago  
I should have clarified. I was responding to the motorcycles. Yes they do golf carts and watercraft here as well as ATV's, but not the Star Line of bikes. Yamaha is a huge international company with manufacturing facilities all over the world for their different product lines.
