The US emphasizes low production costs and ride comfort and cares less about performance than Europe or Japan. In addition, we have different emissions regulations.
Therefore, our shocks are mushier, our brakes are spongier, our engines are usually less powerful, and our seats are wider than non-US versions of the same model.
