R6 + RF 24-240

Is the R6 available as a kit with the RF 24-240 anywhere on the North American market? Thanks in advance.

According to the press release, the kit lens options were either of the two 24-105 lens options.   No mentioned of the 24-240 as an option.  Also none of the retailers show it as an option.

You can get the 24-240 for kit lens pricing through alternative means quite easily.  Used ones typically go for just under $600.  Grey market brand new ones are in the low $600s on ebay.  And Canon often has them for a similar price on their refurb shop with full warranty.

$582 refurb price  today per CPWatch using a coupon code at CanonUSA's shop with that full warranty. Perhaps lower during Black Friday mania, or pre-BF sales.

No.

I ordered my 24-240 "grey market" via eBay.

Other than smelling like cheap plastic for the first 24 hours (outgassing), no issues. I gather it's a kit split from an RP.

I bought the 24-240mm a couple of weeks ago from Canon's refurbished site for around $610 shipped to my door.  This is probably close to the price you would pay for it being in a R6 kit.  I used a promo code to drop the normal refurbished price by 10%.  I have bought many refurbished cameras and lens from Canon and have never had an issue at all.  Everything has been flawless in function and looks.
