[QUOTE="Hudson, post: 1026884, member: 15488"] Metisse, maybe Norton, and some of the Triumph line are built in the UK. They are more expensive than the Bonnie/Scrambler/Thruxton line. I don't get too hung up on "not made in the UK," If the bikes are built well, run reliably, and can be had reasonably with enough left over for upgrades, good for us riders. The Triumphs are built very well and the motors are quite reliable. And unlike the old bikes (my Matchless included) they don't leak. You are going to see lots of bikes sourced overseas, including Yamaha and Honda, who build models in Thailand/Taiwan to compete on price. I thought I read the new Husqvarna dual sport is also sourced there too, and the bike is a great deal at $7k, I wouldn't get too hung up on build location, unless I was paying a pretty penny for the heritage.
