Why can't they sell that stuff here. Think of all the fun you could have on one of those.

probably the same reason we don't get all the small cars that they have in europe...

This is kind is a rehash of an email i sent to some buddies. One responded with, "The whole naked thing I don't get. And that VanVan125, what is that, from 1974".

[Cdgskater]

[Cheyenne]

I hate you for posting this, just as I hate moto mags when they put this shit in there.

The less I know, the less painful it is.

[Motorcycle RN]

You forgot this one.

 

[pecha]

You forgot this one.

660 SM stock? wtf?

 

[Angel-be-Good]

I've had a YZF-R125 in my desktop background rotation ever since I read an article Bike did comparing 125s. I want one so bad, too bad it costs more than a Ninja 250 does in the States.

 

[Motorcycle RN]

660 SM stock? wtf?

XT660. SM bike that we should have here!

 

[AbsolutEnduser]

We don't get these bikes b/c they won't sell well here. And the manufacturers know it.

What are you going to do with a 660-single-cylinder engine in the wide-hot-straight freeways of Modesto among Chevy Suburbans? You, and your, are going to do nothing.

Besides a bike like the XT660 was already selling here. It's called MZ Baghira, had the same yamaha XT660 single engine and was BARELY sold to a few people. Its standard version was the MZ Skorpion, same engine, looks like smallish SV 650 with the round headlight.

 

[Motorcycle RN]

Hmmmm. DRZ's seem to sell ok. I'm sure Yamaha would market the hell out of the 660 if they were to sell them here. I don't know what the numbers are but I'm under the impression the WR250 SM's are selling ok.
And you're right! What would I do in Mo-town with that bike? In fact I'm heading down right now to trade my RGV in on a jacked up F-250 with chromed diffs and 22" Dubs.
