Quote: The real answer is that the USA market bikes are made in Thailand (which makes em with carbs) and the Euro bikes are made in Britain which had to change to EFI to meet the new Euro laws.
No.. not really, I'm told some of the US spec bikes are still made in the UK but they did have to go to FI to meet the UK emmisions guidelines. The US hasn't enforced stricter regulations yet so they can use up some of those carbs they got laying around on our bikes. And all the parts are manufactured in Great Britain then shipped to Thailand for assembly so they are technically still true British bikes.
