Are you sure? :P I asked a friend which was quite into motorcycles and without any hesitation he came up with that one, lol.

Quickly checking wikipedia on it backed him up as well.

"The Lincoln plant (1974) made Kawasaki the first foreign motorcycle manufacturer to operate a plant in the United States."

Guess in 23 hours we'll know the real answer then XD.

I can only say your answer differs from the one Dave submitted. We'll just have to ask Dave about this one.

Dave? :)

I thought it was the Honda CR250R Elsinore but that was in the late 70's.

Are we talking completely made or just assembled?

Dave provided Honda CR250 Elsinore as a correct answer. I guess 1 point goes to techfun. Anyway, I'll check some more resources on this matter. And ask Dave of course :)
