In my experience there are more Yamaha's not only in Belize but all over Central America and the Caribbean. Has been this was for many years. I was told once that they produce an International model that is not sold in the USA and that it was easier to work on because it doesn't have to meet USA pollution regs. Not sure if that is still true but.....

Also the "International" model was cheaper than a Yamaha purchased in the USA.
