From another forum.......
"This seems to be the biggest bone of contention on internet forums, so here is the definitive version.
Currently, All Explorers, Trophys, Thunderbirds, Rocket 111`s and Daytona 675`s are made in the UK, everything else is made in Thailand. If you want to check your own bike or one in the showroom there is a fingernail sized black sticker next to or near to the vin number with white writing, which will say F1, F2, F3, F4 or F5.
F1 and 2 are Hinckley, F3 and F4 means parts made in the UK, ie the engine but assembled in Thailand, F5 means made entirely in Thailand. In case you hadn`t figured it out, the F stands for Factory.
All brand new models are initially made in the UK for two years to get production right, before being moved to Thailand, so older Tiger 800`s will have F1 or F2, current ones are F5."
