Honda’s Indonesian bike manufacturing operation, Astra Honda Motor, is predicting a 16 per cent revenue increase to £3.73bn in its 2013 financial year.
The company, which is a joint venture with Indonesian automotive conglomerate Astra International and probably the biggest producer of Honda-branded powered two-wheelers in the world, says that it expects to sell 4.3 million motorcycles during the year to achieve this forecast.
Astra Honda promotes its wares through sponsorship of the Repsol Honda MotoGP squad. Its Satu Hati (One Heart) slogan features prominently on the leathers and bike fairings of Dan Pedrosa and Marc Marquez.
