If they sold it here, I'd buy one of these as my next bike, but I don't see buying a new bike for quite some time, so maybe that's why they don't sell them here...those of us that do commute have already customized the product offerings here into what we want, so they would have to sell them to new commuters. How many of these people would appreciate the virtue of the chain-case, internal hub, hub dyno, lighting etc?

I think we are still years and about $5/gal more than today (ie $8/gal in 2008 dollars) away from these things in the US market.
