The system in Australia seems however to be simpler than in Europe.

the R3 has 321cc in a block that can also be fit with 250cc pistons and crank for those markets that still demand a displacement restriction.

At least in Japan, the 250cc limit is set for a tax break, while the limit for riders who don't have a full license is 400cc.

150cc air cooled, kick start bikes are still popular in India because they are so cheap.

125cc used to be the default here in Brazil until Honda introduced the CG 150 in 2004, but then it reintroduced the 125 a few years later in a very basic trim with kick-start only. Now it's switching from 150cc to 160cc with electric start only, while the 125 still has kick-start even though it's now fitted with EFI.
