    Far out. Just tank it up and ride it. You'll get run over by some dumb bitch dropping her kids off to school in under 6 months, and then it won't matter where it came from unless Suzuki sends them home to be buried?

    That's my understanding. I don't think that there's ever been 'NZ Spec' machines as such. We tend to get whatever the manufacturers have in stock. Thankfully not the Californian models (well no too often).

    Mrs H's two Marauders were both US market models. MPH speedo and odo, front running lights and left-hand drive. Her 650S Bandit is Canadian spec.

    My ZRX1200R was Canadian spec (built in Lincoln Nebraska). All km, but front running lights.

    Despite being very pissed off initially and an "offer" to replace the dash with a NZ model (althought this was never actually confirmed) I decided to keep it as is. I've got used to it and at the end of the day I 'saved' $1500 despite it, in effect, be loosely described as a slightly lower specced model.

    Anyways, I happy and I enjoy riding it Will keep me happy for awhile.

    Is you neighbour annoyed and was he told that it would be an "american" one when he purchased it?

    400 cc means Japan spec surely? though you'd think they would be metric as well? lucky you could read ANY of the dials and whatnot.

    that throttle on the left, foot clutch on the right, front brake left foot, suicide rear brake thing must be a bitch to get to grips with, huh?
