[QUOTE="AlleyCat, post: 1197071, member: 28173"] US dealers are threathened with losing their right to sell the brand by the manufacturer if they sell to a Canadian customer. So, even if I wanted to make the trip down, I can't get a seller to make the deal. The reason for the warranty issue is that for example, Yamaha Canada would have to pay for the warranty work from a bike that was sold in another country. Yamaha USA made money from the sale of the bike but Yamaha Canada is a different entity completely and they would lose out if they honored the warranty. So, in the end, someone from the US should offer to be a middleman.... the US citizen buys the bike from the dealer at a good deal, sells the bike to a Canadian for a service fee and the Canadian still saves money in the end. Lots of paperwork (crossing at customs, plateing the bike with the province, etc) and if warranty service is required, then you have to ship the bike back to the US. Worth it in the end ??? Money to be saved, but lots of legwork. [/QUOTE]
