Benz and other European brand name vehicles are assembled in Thailand, and the excuse that its an International Brand name and have to pay large taxes etc.
Lets wait and see the price list off the showroom for the first Thai assembled bike....
Wouldnt hold my breath

yep , all bikes will be released as thailey davidson , and will not get the extra toolbox and carton paper to put under the bike for oil leakage , so it will be an improvement

Unless the plan has changed very recently, when I inquired about this from Harley, I was told that only the smaller Harleys would be manufactured/assembled here if their proposal went through. In other words, no Street Glides, no Road Kings, no Ultras, none of the bigger bikes. It was to be gauged more toward the Thai market -- smaller bikes with smaller price tags.
Since that time, there have been new bilateral trade negotiations in an attempt to cut the 100% import duty on Harleys into Thailand. Currently, a new Harley purchased here costs just about double for the same bike in the US. I haven't heard any updates on this, but if it's successful, the bigger bikes will probably become available.
