Motorcycle Consumer News had a great article recently about importing bikes
from Canada. The author brought in a Suzuki SV650S, because he wanted that
version rather than the SV650 that the US gets. (Something I totally
understand, as I almost settled on buying the SV650 except that they were
taking so long to get any in the dealers. Impatiently, I started looking at
other bikes, test rode the ST, and you all know the rest.)
