Thanks for the replies, and insight.
In the automobile world, California emissions generally consume more fuel, are more complex, have drivability problems, cost more to maintain and purchase, produce less power. Fuel injection pretty much eliminated much of this, though.
Getting CA emissions in Canada isn't required. I live in BC, and there are no emissions testing for motorcycles... at least yet. Our emissions standards are much lower than California, so the CA bike will definitely satisfy our pollution standards. I'm not sure about drivability, fuel economy , etc.
Thx,
