Default Various videos of bike production!

http://videos.howstuffworks.com/disc...tory-video.htm


Very cool insight on where and how the GSXRs are made. I think the guys at 4:50 have one of the cooler jobs in the factory.


Check the link out, various vids on other manufacturers too!

Yamis, Ducs, BMW and Kawis from what I have found.

After watching them, I have concluded that the Kawi plant is the most slave driven like place.

Nice find. Wish they were a little more in depth and there was a full screen option.

You can see the cultural aspects of these countries come into play in these videos.

You have the Japanese with their massive production lines and massive amounts of people buzzing like bees conking out products.

You then have the Germans with their robots and clean room, everything is orderly. Achtung!!! and all that.

You have the Italians with their more lackadaisy approach. Things are organized but not too organized.
