Have a look on the log book (V5c) – new style ones in section 3. If it was imported it will say “WAS REGISTERED/USED OVERSEAS. DECLARED MANUFACTURE 19??
With the older style log books there should be a note under the previous keepers name and address.
I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening; I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning. Aleister Crowley (1875 – 1947)
Sound advice from Kat and Hollie(!) there. Other ways of telling on the bike: Km rather than MPH speedo. Headlight – make sure it dips the correct way for the UK. Colours and graphics – check you have a colour scheme availble here in the UK.
I have a parallel import T Cat and a mate has 97 CBR600 that is an import too. Niether of us have had any problems.
