We could, but they are too well built for our disposable society.

You can get them stateside, it's just a pain in the butt. Gray market, you pay cash for it while on vacation, ride it around, crate it up and bring it home. Fairly common. We have a Kubota tractor that was brought in from Canada, the model is sold there, but doesn't meet OSHA specs in the USA. Great little tractor that you can't get a roll bar for.

There was a used one for sale here a few months ago.. at the dealership ( trade in) for $3800. I was still dealing with leaky roofs and such.. but I was very much drooling over it. Someone here had to tell me what it was.

Seeing as you are in Mississippi, I suspect that the trade-in you saw at the dealership was a W650, which Kawi sold in North America for only a couple of years back in 2000/01 ... very much sought after Bike now-a-days! There are only 2 that I know of here in S.J. Nfld. ... both brought in from elsewhere in Canada in recent years from what I understand ... beautiful Bikes!

Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, just surrounded by arseholes!

Reply #21 - 11/09/13 at 08:28:49 Seeing as MS is home to a Navy base, a Naval shipyard, a Naval training facility, an Air Force Base, a HUGE Army/National Guard base, and a NASA/NOAA jointly operated port/shipyard/testing facility... the odds of finding a gray market W800 are actually pretty good.
