Yank version comes standard with tach, speedo, temp guage and idiot lights for nuetral, high beam, and turn signal indicator, at least the yank version sold here in 'merica.

that's too much money for a "A" model. In the states a a18 averages approx $5100USD including taxes. Todays rates puts 8000 AUS dollars equal to about 6186 $USD. I'd go for the "A" model for the aftermarket support , and offer him 6500 australian, for the A18. if he doesn't accept your offer be prepared to walk out the door. A18s in the states come with tacho standard from the factory. Conall> > I'd aprreciate some help.

I got about AU$400 off my A18 in Melbourne, they don't discount much as they can sell all they can import. If my dealer couldn't get one from a country dealer I would have had to wait a month or so for the next shipment. On the showroom floor the C model was certainly heavier to move around, once going I don't know. Iwanted the large tank & tacho. Gavin> > I'd aprreciate some help.
