The thread about the CCM 450 which is sold here made me think. If a small company like them think it is worth it to get their bike through transport Canada so it can be road legal in Canada why can't other companies?
For instance:

and:

The CCM is pretty expensive, but even assuming the costs incurred would be the same as for the above models which would sell at a lower price I would think Honda could a fair number of them, or at least enough of them to make it worthwhile.
