There wouldn't be any American made bikes without a Japanese name if not for government subsidies. Concessions to the Japs as allies came at a cost. It's not a "Subsidy" when Govt. fucks you raw, and tosses a bone your way for a partial reparation, for market share lost due to sacrificial economics.

For dirtbikes, Jap bikes were the gold standard obviously, recently KTM has really been upping their game though. When the shit got real back in 82', MAICO and Can-Am were the only alternative to Jap bikes....and I was on Team Green support. 
Bultaco, Husqvarna, Hodaka, Montessa, CZ, and Rokon had fallen away. H-D flirted with the MX market and failed...bad..with rebadged Aermacchi MX bikes that were a decade behind. District 14 was a bloodbath, as was So.Cal. from about 75' to 83'. Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki NA latched on to an emerging market and cemented a future. Suzuki missed the boat by ignoring the potential...they failed to support the prominent AMA riders other than one or two, and ignored the two largest markets. Back then, dealers were bigger than the factorys. KTM wasn't even a player back then. No dealer support. KTM has figured things out,and gotten aggressive with the Mini's and tiddlers, like Team Green. KTM gets it.
The Japs dumping horizontal 4 cruisers, for pennies on the dollar, was seen for what it was. Ronnie called bullshit, when it needed to be called....and I'm no fan of H-D. |

Though I would concede - Japan makes the best mini truck. Everywhere but CONUS, nobody needs or can use a 3/4-1 ton pick up, and they would lose everyday, week, month and year, trying to compete in the small segment. They don't have the capacity, and it would destroy them developing it, for little to no return. The japs are crazy fuckers...they aren't stupid.

Ironically while the US is the largest market for firearms, the US does not make the best firearms in most major categories.
Europe wins in: Semi Auto Handguns: Glock, H&K, Walther, CZ > S&W, Ruger, Kahr, Kel Tec, Remington, Colt Semi Auto Shotguns: Benelli, Saiga > Mossberg, Remington Submachine Guns: B&T, H&K, FN, CZ > Kriss, Colt Hunting Rifles: Tikka > Remington, Ruger, Winchester Non-AR Assault Rifles: Steyr, FN, H&K, B&T > Remington, Robinson, AR's - Tie. HK 416 gold standard now, but LMT / other top tier US brands are comparable. Battle Rifles: FN SCAR 17 US wins in: -Pocket .380's -Revolvers -Pump action shotguns -Sniper Rifles -.50 cal rifles -Firearms accessories (triggers, rails, grips, magazines) -Defensive Ammo |

I have owned a bunch of older Yamaha and Kawasaki's and around 1980 production really picked up in the US.
Most of the parts are Japanese made, I think that is still true. We should thank the Japanese for taking over the MC and automotive market back into the day, it pushed American companies to make better stuff. Late 70's domestic cars and AMC era Harley's were complete shit for the most part. Harley really upped their game to match the service and reliability of the Japanese and that's a good thing. |

The Japs tried the same tactic with bikes that they did to consumer electronics. Ronnie did stop that from happening. Japs would sell their product high at home and for a loss here in the states just to undercut the American price and drive the cost down to an unsustainable low level. When the American companies would be at the verge of bankruptcy...the Japanese government would loan the cash to the Japanese company to buy up the American company. They never built better quality anything. They never invented a damn thing. Wasn't till the end of the 80's before any Jap product was worth it's low price. By that time they were becoming noncompetitive due to rising labor costs. And with no capital reserves, their economy has since plateaued. |

Night Vision scopes and thermal scopes. Best technologically designed in the world. Medical care is supposed to be the best also. Military technology is also highly rated. Astro-nautical and space technology is also the best, even though it's been stagnant under obama. Nuclear technology (both military and civilian). Science technology. Unfortunately, not so much as far as guns. The best ones tend to be Swiss (Sig/Sphinx), German(Sauer/H&K/Korth), Austrian(Steyr), Czech Republic/CZ), and Belgium(FNH).
