    I'm a Japanese person who lives right next to this factory. The Honda factory is currently recruiting workers due to a labor shortage. There are 3 shifts with 8 hours of work per day. The monthly salary is approximately 300,000 yen in Japanese yen. In addition to your salary, housing and utilities are free. There is also some allowance for food expenses. There will be updates every 3 months and bonuses will be paid. It's very lucrative, but the work is very demanding.
    There is no work on Saturdays and Sundays.

      Is 300 000 yen a lot in Japan?
      So How Much Is a Lot of Money in Japan? Generally speaking, whether you're a tourist, student, or worker in Japan, 10,000 yen per day is more than enough money to get by. That equates to about 300,000 yen per month, which is higher than the average salary that a Japanese person makes. ($2,091.05 US dollars). That’s high.

      If you are a regular company employee, the amount is not temporarily high. However, if it is a non-regular part-time job, it is expensive.

    Dear Honda factory workers. Be aware that your products are worshipped around the world and running just fine. Greetings from Europe. My 2017 Honda VFR 1200 X DCT is running perfectly and it will continue to do so for many years to come. In the last 15 months I did 25 thousand kilometers on it.

      @@roadwarrior8560 true, but with minor adjustments immediately after the launch of the DCT, the problem was resolved. And with each next year, Honda has further perfected the system, bringing it to what it has become today. Bulletproof system so good that it made other manufacturers so nervous that they had to work on the their response to Honda’s DCT. These days the Yamaha has confirmed that they had been developing their just introduced Y-AMT automatic transmission since 2014! BMW has confirmed recently that they had spent 5 years developing their newly launched ASA system in the utmost secrecy. And then, there’s KTM, we’ll see what their system will be like.
      And just when they all thought they had finally caught up with Honda when it comes to automatic gearboxes and clutches after all these years of struggle, Honda elevates the game to the next level introducing the e-Clutch system.

    Humans like to take credit for everything they produce, but no, the ego does not and cannot produce this. This video is a mesmerizing testament to the unseen artistry behind every motorcycle. The precision and dedication involved in crafting these machines goes far beyond human ingenuity; it feels like a glimpse into a divine dance where raw materials are transformed into symbols of freedom and motion. In each creation, we witness a spark of the divine, a reflection of the unseen power's boundless creativity and love. Truly inspiring! 🏍️✨

    Seeing the precision that goes into the manufacturing process, this helps reinforce my belief
    that the "dealer preparation" charge at all dealers is a bullshit charge to get a few hundred more
    dollars out of each buyer. There's nothing to prepare on the bike when it gets to the dealer.

    Let me say this.I just bought a HONDA pioneer 1000,2024 model year.I found fasteners that were only half way threaded in on the Cargo box.I found a "spare"hopefully metric nut under cargo box.Bumper plastic end covers not pressed in all the way.AND,when i open the glovebox,the friggin door fell off because the extension pins on the door are too short in my opinion.American Honda is not even close to JAPANESE build quality when it comes to final inspection,no way!!
