Hi Ken,
I actually live in South Africa, We get the non-catalytic converter, both
headlight working  models here because unleaded is not always available or
100% lead free. There is no '01 RS stock available here now so I thought
I'll just wait for the '02 model.
>From a price point, we pay much less for our bikes than you e.g. '01 RS
@R9,98 to the US$ we pay less than $7000,00 out of the door! I can buy an
'01 ST now for $8500,00.

PS. I Looked at the McDonalds indicator this morning and South Africa is the
cheapest place in the world to buy a Big Mac @ less that one US$.
