We get just some stickers for 2010 and Europe gets the ABS model, that's BS!!

U.S always gets shafted on the cool shit

Other countries get so many different bikes its not even funny....

I think there are lots of elements at play here:

1. US customers are so dang price-sensitive
2. There are fewer motorcycles per capita in the USA than most of the EU (& lots of Asia too!)
3. Most major motorcycle manufacturers just can't have a ton of models, in different colors, with different options--dealers are just going to stock the basic bike--after all, it's usually the cheapest one sells!

While I understand the reason why ABS isn't available, I still want it!
