And the aftermarket industry needs to begin offering parts that comply with EPA standards...instead of pushing the responsibility on to the consumer.

Discussions of what bikes the manufacturers should put on the market are fun, but entirely separate from emissions.

If Yamaha imported the excellent SR400 for $2000 or even $5000 (it sells for around $4000 in Japan) it would do fine. Does it pass EuroIII? http://world.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?lp=ja_en&trurl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.yamaha-motor.jp%2fmc%2flineup%2fsportsbike%2fsr400%2findex.html -todd no, I’m not talking about a 50cc scooter.

How much cheaper are we talking about?
