if the usa sold to canada with the cheaper prices, then all of canada would buy from usa, mail order, traveling, etc., and your economy would crumble. its not that we won't sell to you, its that your country does not want us to. that's what gives.
but if I lived just across the border from ya, I'd help you out. hook up with a nice chap like supersonic suggests. but check your laws about registering and all that first, if you gotta register it in canada then they'll be asking you some questions about how you got it.

There should be no reason why they won't sell it to you. I have been on 3 different cross board trips with friends that have bought quads in the US. It is a very easy process at the boarder as well, we are usually on our way with in 15 minutes. Also note that you will not have to pay duty if the bike is built in the US or Canada, I am not sure about Mexico.
