Are there different XR650R
Hi
Being on the verge of buying one of them I was browsing the net searching for as much info as possible and found out that there are substantial differences in weight and seat height between the bike sold in Australia and the one sold in Italy.
weight in Au = 138kg in Italy=128 kg with electric starter
seat H in Au = 935mm in Italy= 960mm ( it sounds frightening)
The price is also much cheaper in Au.
Euro 8,700 in Italy and "only" Au$9990(equal to Euro 6550) at the Hondashop in Perth. I have been offered a discount of 700 Euros in Italy but there is still a huge 1450 Euro difference.
I am a bit confused especially about the price. Is it possible that 10 kg less are so expensive? Or are there other hidden reasons(apart from the greediness of the italian retailers)?
