The first Honda manufacturing facility in America was the Marysville Motorcycle Plant, for years the sole global source of the Gold Wing, Honda's top-of-the-line touring motorcycle. It's made alongside the industry-leading V-twin cruiser, the VTX 1300. Opened in 1979, the Marysville Motorcycle Plant has built more than 1 million motorcycles.
