Go ahead Klavdy--rub it in.  You know Yamaha doesn't sell those this side of the pond. Wish they did.  Dave

You do realize that its mostly stock XJR12 or 1300, right?  He's added and subtraced a few bits, and it does look very nice.  No need to bend your own tubes.  Easier and cheaper to just import one from the countries they're marketed in.

Yep, and with that backbone frame it allows plenty of room for the throttle bodies (i.e.TPS) to make fuel injection practicable.

[Arnie]

Only the very early years of XJR1200 came with carbs.
All the rest have FI.

Don't know if you can access:  http://www.Bikesales.com.au 
There are 23 or so XJRs of various years and mileage.
Surprising to me was that almost all of them were being sold by dealers

Arnie, I'm not sure but I don't believe we can import non-DOT (Department of Transportation) approved motorcycles.  I know for a fact that we can't import non-DOT cars.  We have strict rules about the lights, mufflers, smog, brakes...  I think if it were possible, some one would be importing a boat-load of XJR's.  I know I would buy one.

They have them in Canada. Buy one.
Option#1: Ride it across. Register it as a used bike. In Calif. the DMV will require you to get a CHP inspection for road worthiness. Not sure about the other states.
Option #2: Take it apart, box it up and ship it from Canada to the U.S. as used bike parts.

I would love to have one but the Canadian prices of 17,599 and 18,599 would allow me to buy several FJ's and upgrade them. Way more fun.  Dave
