I found this article about moving production of the Honda Super Cub back to Kumamoto to be very interesting. There’s been a trend in Japan, as in other developed countries, to move production abroad, where labor costs are lower. This move in the opposite direction is good news for Kumamoto.
If you’re interested in this topic you may also want to take a look at the following article:

The bike has sold 100 million, making it more popular than any other single model of car or automobile.
