Old stock is the reason, in Europe they still sell all those models, we have leftover 2008, 2009, 2010 stock of many of the WR250X, CRF230M, KLX250SM, DRZ400SM, because of our economy. until the leftover stock is sold, many manufacturers are not releasing new years of the bike in the USA. Make no sense to export a bunch of new 2013 bikes to us, when several hundred 2009's are still new on the showroom floor in various dealer locations. Honda did just release a CRF250M in the UK, and I believe they will probably release here in the usa by 2015. http://world.honda.com/news/2013/2130412CRF250M/index.html
