Many do not know that Honda actually had a plant in Marysville, Ohio.
And in 1987 that plant actually produced a run of the VFR700F Interceptor model.
The only way to know if the bike was produced at that plant is by looking at the VIN plate.
Here's an explanation:

I have the good fortune, from a purely historic POV, to currently own two such bikes.
In a completely unrelated aspect, I was looking on eBay at frames and saw this one for sale with this very VIN plate.
The kicker is......the frame is located in GREAT BRITAIN!!!
So a Japanese manufactured motorcycle, has one made in the USA, and that bike's frame ends up in England.
New one on me!
Also, I was looking at the seller's feedback and saw this recent FB from a buyer...lol....
The part I ordered was very well packaged and I loved that it came with a news paper where the cross word was filled out lol. And the part was exactly what was shown and arrived as promptly as it could when coming from Europe.
Sometimes it
really is a small world.......
