Thats the reason theres gsxr and vfr400's everywhere
Thats my understanding of it anyway, most of the grey imports were different to UK spec too, and mostly restricted and with kph clocks
with a limited amount of 500 and set amounts going to chosen countries tho do you think this would have happened ?
I would say that dealers would have been screaming to get them
plus there cant be a lower spec item again they were a limited run and all the same
I could be wrong but would think most of the 500 should be ok
