I am to understand that all Canadian models of the F6B are in fact registered/sold as the F6BD, yet they do not have the deluxe features found on the US models - BUT they do have ABS. Can anyone shed some light on Honda's strategy here? Not why they have ABS but why they would be the F6BD and not the Standard.

Secondly I ask if the Canadian F6BD's electronics would be configured any differently, as in being pre-configured [if there is such a thing] for the deluxe features like heated grips..etc?

I'm thinking Canadian owners might be able to upgrade to deluxe features easier [than a Standard] because of this. Or did Honda sell Canadians short on the Deluxe?
