I stumbled upon the reason that Honda moved their Goldwing production to Japan. They saw this brilliant new assembly application and saw the money they could save by implementing it in North America. Watch it here:

Now, see there. A good ol' American saw that it was just a camera trick. You'd think the tech-savy Japanese would have seen that,too, and kept the production where it belonged - this side of the pond. Just look at this -

It DOES look like it assembled itself. A bit of a BMW fairing/color combo look:

then the Goldwing middle and finally a Victory lower rear end

with a Goldwing trunk slapped on it. Not for me.
