I have a 225 too!

I have a 2002 Yamaha TDM 225. The TDM is a kind of a Funbike Supermoto version of the TTR. And yes, it takes large amounts of abuse too. You can see some pics of my tiny little supermoto in this site:

Not available.

Unfortunately, the awesome SV is not available for us South Americans. But there are rumors that a local manufacturer is going to assemble the Hyosung Comet 650. It's not confirmed though.

You are right, but...

Suzuki is importing the 1000 V-Strom to Brazil but not the 650. And its price is almost the double of the 599 price. So I'm not considering buying it because I can't afford it.

The 599 and the FZ cost about R$ 30,000 (US$ 10,000) here in Brazil so it's already expensive enough.

Assemble and import

The FZ (Fazer) is going to be imported by Yamaha and the 599 (Hornet) is going to be assembled in Brasil with many imported parts and a few brasilian parts.
