    For that small of number being produced for each year you still see a lot of these bikes around. I bet that would not be the case if Japanese bikes only sold that many. They would all be in a junk heap:thumbsdown:

    I believe the swedes were the first to use electric foundry furnaces to make steel and the first to develope chrome moly steels. My dad was a repair, prototype machines and when he ordered steel for the projects he preferred the Swedish steel because of its machinability and quality.

    Here in the states I think Carpenter Steel probably produces the best quality steels here. I believe there in NH.

    I have repaired a lot of dirtbikes frames from Japan. Very poor borderline when it comes to quality. Brings to mind just good enough. This is why the Husqvarnas will be around for a longtime yet.
