European prices are higher for smaller displacement bikes because AFAIK in some countries (for ex. UK) there's restriction on how big your engine can be if you are a novice rider. That alone creates much bigger demand for smaller bikes, which drives prices higher. On the other hand, in USA our little GS has a stigma of 'a beginners bike'. That, together with no CC-limitations for a new rider (go MSF and next day buy yourself a 'Busa, all fine here!) makes prices for smaller bikes go down. Also, US riders are not that much concerned about gas mileage, in general. In Europe, with much higher petrol prices, smaller engines are popular. Here's another factor contributing in higher pricing.

It's all makes sense. So don't bash guys across the pond for hhigher prices. Sympathize them instead.
