The Honda Beat 2 seater, which was only sold in Japan and other markets a few years ago, revs past 10K.....to around 11,000rpm or so

Sorry, wrong!

You'll notice that NJHB is from the UK, and references to companies are made in the plural, which would require "are", not "is".

Listen to any of the Formula 1 races on SpeedVision and you'll hear this all the time.

I'm not sure, but I believe that this is actually the correct grammatical usage, but not the popular usage.

It seems that we are separated by a common language.
The question is, do you consider a company a sum of its people or is it a singular entity?
