Default Import question........

Are the jap bikes that are to be sold in the UK actually made in the UK or are they all imported from japan complete and ready to register over here?

Been looking at a few and some say 'UK bike' so i assume some will be made over here and some made over in japan? Does this actually affect the values as with import cars?

Cheers.

i have an import one and it is only a uk bike when built in this country, mine was imported from japan, which as said means its all in km's plus you can never garuntee how its been used before, also insurance is more on these bikes but not by much, depends on the size of bike ur looking to get.
