It seems like nanny state USA no longer wants any vehicles bought as new to be fitted with a carb. Seems like they will only accept new vehicles with fuel injection. At least, that's how it comes across to me. A lot of the bikes with carbs state "Not available in North America" e.g Yamaha 1100 custom, 100 classic, 650 classic, 1100 silverado, 650 silverado, to name but a few. All carbed bikes. Other manufacturers sometimes don't even bother putting carbed bikes on the list. Could be wrong, but, like I said, that's how it appears to me.
