After deep thought, the following scenario makes sense.
Engineers. Make a superb engine, more power, lighter, "extra good stuff, less bad stuff". They stand back and pat themselves on the back for a job well done. "Righto, off to the pub for a pint of sake!" and they shove the finished engine into the next shop.
Here, the lads see a wonderful engine and knock up a frame, electronic gizmo's and wire it all together. "Righto, off to the pub to join the engineers in a pint of sake! We can hear the singing from the pub already!". and they shove the rolling bike into the body shop.
The people here are dressed like fashion designers...
Hearing the drunken singing from the pub, they quickly bolt on a back end from the last model and then tell the cleaners to find something to put onto the front end. "Righto, off to the pub for a gin and tonic, cocktails and a good arse-shagging session!" (they are Honda designers...).
The pub is rocking along, designers being shagged in the corner, when one of them remembers that the release date is nigh.
A quick txt to the last cleaner to leave the building, sees the bike crated and off to the "big reveal" at a major press show.
Up comes the curtain and Mr Honda chokes on his sushi. "Fuck, I guess we have to run with that now!" he says.
Similarities to the Homer Simpson designed car, are purely fictional.
