Ted - kudos on your new site!
It just seems like Yamaha has not figured out the USA market. The 1990-1995 XT600E that they imported here was every bit as good as the Kawasaki KLR650 or Suzuki DR650 (still imported here), except for price. Now they are importing the new WR250X at $6000 USD and Yamaha seems confused as to what type of bike it is (according to their Web site). You can get a new Kaw KLR650 or (almost) a new Suz DL650 for that $$$. Yes, fuel injection, liquid cooling and USD forks are nice - but at that price?
It's just too bad for us rare XT600E owners that there is not a more direct marketing link to all the accessories and aftermarket parts available in Europe.:confused1:
