Hmmm, I thought I posted a message here yesterday about the 2008 Bandit Canadian Special Edition (Suzuki Canada's name for it), but I don't see it now. The advantage of buying it as a package is that it is the cheapest way for a Canadian to get it with the hard bags and fairing lowers. If you bought those as accessories, the price would go up by about $1,000 overall. It might seem attractive to come north across the border to buy, but Canadian bike prices are still a lot higher than U.S. ones. I have ordered one of these Bandits for 08.
Here's a link to an announcement at CMG Online (Canadian motorcycle e-zine) about the Canadian version with a pic
