Sky1970 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Anyone knows consequences of the fire please? I consider buying used 2023 4ride from a buddy but now doubt Honda is going to rebuild the factory. Main question for me is availability of the engine parts in the future. Any advice on this regard is welcomed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtas Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Not enough information yet to know but it appears it is only the storage area and not the production area has been affected. So theoretically nothing stopping them from manufacturing new parts. It's a waiting game at the moment as I doubt Honda/Montesa fully know the stock that they have lost yet, let alone make future decisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is whole Spain Honda facility as per the map The losses are more than 11,000 motorcycles and all the spare parts on site have been destroyed . the only thing not destroyed is the production facilities and the admin departments . As there is no where to store anything that is produced / manufactured at this moment , everything is paused and admin staff are working from home until further notice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky1970 Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 if one has 11000 not selling bikes in stock it is good idea to finally get the money from insurance then ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 They were mainly scooters and small motorcycles. Not many trials bikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky1970 Posted Saturday at 06:07 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 06:07 PM Honda on fire Last week a serious fire broke out (it seems it started from the photovoltaic panels) at the Santa Perpètua de Mogoda facility near Barcelona: no injuries (around 150 employees evacuated without consequences), but there was considerable material damage and a massive rescue effort was required to bring the flames under control. A huge column of smoke was visible from kilometers away, as many as 28 fire engines arrived on the scene, and the situation further deteriorated when part of the building’s structure collapsed, forcing firefighters to change strategy. With entry into the complex becoming too dangerous, efforts had to be focused from the outside to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading to nearby commercial activities. The facility included Montesa Honda, the prestigious Honda Safety Institute, a recognized center for rider training and road safety, as well as various technical and logistical infrastructures tied to Honda’s sporting side, especially MotoGP team equipment, but no comments have been released on that to date. https://www.corsedimoto.com/en/stories/factory-up-in-smoke-results-in-free-fall-red-alert-for-honda-across-motogp-sbk-and-mxgp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky1970 Posted Saturday at 06:15 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 06:15 PM Initial assessments following the devastating fire that struck the Santa Perpètua de Mogoda facility last Friday reveal a far more serious situation than initially feared. The fire completely destroyed the company's logistics center, wiping out nearly 11,000 stored motorcycles and almost the entire stock of spare parts destined for the sales network. The damage will have significant consequences for the company's operations in the coming year. https://www.facebook.com/thehellteampage/photos/for-anyone-who-hasnt-seen-the-spanish-news-this-week-there-has-been-a-major-fire/1479928174151275/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
