Difference in usa vs european models

sharps45100 · 09-12-2011, 09:54 PM

I have a 2007 1600 nomad and is wondering what is the difference between my bike and a european model. Cosmetics i'm not worried about, wanting to know if engine, injection or exhaust. Thank you, Paul.

European models tend to be fairly thin, long legged, and indeed use more cosmetics than are found on the stock Nomad. Nomads of course are fairly squat and chunky. Both have two jugs, but you didn't ask for similarities.

Can't believe you even asked such a silly question. ;)

You have to be careful how you phrase a question around here. I'll go first with a serious answer. The EU bikes have an oxygen sensor. California bikes do too. (At least the 09 and later so.

Not if it has an oxygen sensor..yours is the California version, right? So nope.

I personally prefer the Blonde haired large busted European Nomad models- they appear more user friendly than the Stock USA version - slightly better handling at speed ( they are used to the Autobahn and such) and seem to deliver better bang for your buck - so to say!

BD be sure to let us know if you find some nice twisties on the moon.

Getting back to the question, the only differences I am aware of are possibly some slight changes to the wiring as some countries have different regulations regarding lighting.

Are you planning on going to Europe to do some cruising?

Most times it the way the lights are switched and wired, Australia has some different wiring specs as well.

Shucks, I thought this was a post about economic models

I don't know about Nomads but on Honda Goldwings Euro models have a factory switch to turn the headlight on and off.

Goldwings in Japan have a windshield wiper on them.
