You gotta remember the dollar conversion and shipping cost too.
All in he’d have 6500 Canuck bucks in that roller motor.
$2k difference? The price difference between the 350 HO and 350/357 in base form is about $500 and $350 in deluxe form? I know what i would do.

However, i have no idea what the exchange rate is or how much it costs to ship to Canada. I do know that in the late 90's and early 2000's when i was racing motocross i would buy new Honda CR250's in Canada for about $2600.00. I would exchange my cash at the casino for the best rate and fill out the duty free paperwork at the border and in a few months i would get a check for the Canadian tax since i wasn't a resident. Unfortunately this only worked for a few years and i wasn't fast enough for anyone to be giving me bikes so i had to start buying them at the local stealership.
