    Yeah the Nigerian Honda 125 does not come with an electronic starter, it is only a kick starter, I was surprised.

    The design of the CB125 is Honda’s, not sure to what level the unit is made in Nigeria? Simply being the same does not mean it is made in China, as much as that it is the same design. It may be only partly but not likely fully made in China?


    The News Release does not claim that the units are made in Nigeria, but does lead one to believe that they are by claiming Honda Manufacturing (Nigeria) LTD is a production and sales subsidiary?
    http://world.honda.com/news/2011/c11...ria/index.html
    It also states
    Production capacity : 150,000 units/year


    So we cannot be sure…..but here is a Digital Fact Book for Honda, it can be searched and lists Nigeria with production of 23,107 motorcycles for 2010.

    That link also shows that Honda's production operations in China produced 1,604,305 motorcycles in 2010. I checked that against chinamotorcycle.com its total, for the two Honda's Wuyang and Sunduro, 1,581,266 a difference of -23,039?

    I wonder if that is a coincidence the 23,000 units could be knocked downs and counted twice by Honda and not by china's statisticians?

    In 2010 Honda represented 5.95% of total production of Motorcycles in China.
    YTD 2012 Honda represents 7.71% of total motorcycle production in China. Honda is taking a share of the total motorcycle production of China at a rate of roughly 0.88% per year from 2010 to YTD 2012.


    Then consider total production YTD 2012 for Honda, 741,481


    Annualized to a monthly export rate of 50,351units then compared to a production rate of 148,296 units monthly, then roughly 34% of the total motorcycle production of Honda motorcycles in China are exported, the remaining 66% is sold domestically.
