Apparently all the 450exc's are sold in my area. I went into a dealership in Hayward,CA and the dealer just chuckled and asked if I wanted to be placed on a waiting list. However, I was surf'n the net and found a motorcycle broker out of Canada that can sell me a new 2004 450exc crate bike. He stated that he buys direct from Austria and that the bikes he has are a "European" model. Apparently the bikes are ment for Europe sales and come with turn signals and some other items that make them street legal. He states that they are the "same" bike (same motor, suspension etc.) as the USA counterpart. Has anyone out there bought one of these or know any information on this bike and buying a bike out of the U.S. I cannot find any information or pictures of this bike anywhere on the net........Please help!
