Enduros from Japanese manufacturers?

I looked online for an A2 enduro bike for myself. As expected, I only found the typical manufacturers like Beta, KTM, GasGas, and the like.

If I search for "Suzuki RME 250f" or "Kawasaki KXE 250" on Google Images (the same applies to Honda and Yamaha), I also find enduros from these Japanese manufacturers, which, however, cannot be found on the German vehicle market.

Were/are they simply not sold in Germany, or why are they not available here? I really like them and wouldn't mind driving one later. xD

Yamaha XT 500 and its successors or Honda XL 500 and its larger models can be repaired by any village blacksmith, but for the RME or KXE you need an engineer with a lot of expertise because the big engines always run as long as the piston doesn't stick out of the engine

You can forget about the high-tech crap like KTM and all those who build these 250cc auxiliary engines. A good enduro starts at 500cc or even 450, but not with 250 cubic centimeters or, even worse, the 125 crap that calls itself an enduro because they are all scooters with 125cc.

So get a 500 with 27 HP and have fun driving, which you will never have with a 250 or smaller, because there is no such thing as an electric starter, so it can't break like the crap that is called enduro on the road these days.
