    Is there a definitive way of checking? I've seen a couple of different ways of figuring out the VIN on other forums. Cheers.

    Lot of information here - but skip to the last post - https://www.triumphrat.net/water-cooled-twins-talk/874778-2018-t120-made-in-england-4.html

    There is always the "Be American, Buy American" contingent here in the States, but even many of them have come to understand that there really is no such thing. Years ago, when Honda was building bikes in Ohio, USA, the Honda Shadow had the most US content. Boy did that piss off a lot of Harley owners.

    Taking a tour of the Harley Final Assembly plant in Pennsylvania, you will see boxes with parts from Austria, Japan, Korea, as well as the US. It truly is a global market no matter what motor vehicle you refer to.
