Up here in the land of the "funny coloured money" we enjoy a devalued dollar when compared to your dollar......$1 USD buys $1.50 CDN (approx.)
If a bike were to be built it would cost less to build it here....but I am unsure if there would be duties and taxes to pay when the bikes were shipped back into the states. We are suppose to have a Free Trade pact with you guys but that may not include old Italian bikes.
