Re: 600 Shootout!!
If you go to Europe, or even upstairs to Canada, you will see a different (and sometimes wider) selection of standard bikes, "sporty" bikes, and even sportbikes. I guess that's cause these bikes are no match for the American public's Harley love affair. Has anyone seen the Yamaha France catalogue? Check out the Fazer 600, FJR1300, TDM850, TT600 (enduro), and even a 125 cruiser! I'm not kidding! And it's the same with other manufacturers too. People have different expectations and different preferences in different parts of the world.
