You also won't find any ZX2R's anywhere in the states unless someone brought it with them from either Japan, UK, or Australia. The small bike market in the US is not taken seriously and we get the smallest selection of bikes in that genre.
Also, the other countries besides the US have dense population and the cities are too crowded which make the 250 more economical and logical. But I do see your point. I've been noticing a lot of scooters popping up though in the city now here in the US.
