Rup, that is the '80 model CR250. First year for a plastic gas tank on a CR.

Does that mean more lost jobs for M'erican's ?

The first CR250 built in the US was the 1980 model shown hence the Sept 1979 build date.

The reporter from the article said that no workers were laid off. They either retired early or were transferred to the car division in the same plant.

Morally wrong..
How so?
I love moral judgments. Always makes for a great debate. There is a moral reason Honda should run a losing operation?
