You may think this is a dumb question but I'm not sure which one of these is made in America (if any) but can you please tell me some sport bikes that are made in America, because I dont want to buy a bike from China or Japan. Thanks

and this is one is my favorite but I know its not American. http://kawasaki.com/Products/Product-Specifications.aspx?scid=24&id=496


Are any of these American, if not what are some bikes that are?

Thank you.
 
Sorry but all of those bikes are Japanese and the only really good american bike manufacture is Harley Davison but they dont do any sporty bikes like these. If you want a non-Japonese sports bike then you sould get an italian one e.g. Ducati, Aprilia, Benelli. Or Get a Triumph which are british.
Also there is nothing wrong with bikes from Japan Most are very good and you can get them in america.
 
None of them are "made" in America. If you're asking if they are assembled in America, the Honda might be, but I doubt it. I believe most of the Japanese plants here have been shut down. Besides, I think Honda assembled mostly Goldwings at their American plant anyway.

Somewhat American sportbikes are going to be more along the lines of (I intentionally excluded current American electric sportbikes like MotoCzysz, Brammo, Mission Motors, etc.):

Buell
(if you don't want one of the old Buells, the company is currently known as Eric Buell Racing is selling a limited run of 100 sportbikes at $40k apiece)

Fischer
(they use Korean sourced SV650 knockoff engines I think)

Roehr
(They have a Harley V-Rod based sportbike for $40k or so)

Highland
(I don't think they have sportbikes, but they are V2 based bikes)

Polaris
(they don't have sportbikes yet, but they are probably the most likely American manufacturer that may introduce a mass production sportbike in the future considering how much they've grown, and their ties with BRP-Rotax)

I probably forgot someone, but your choices for American made sportbikes are sadly lacking...
