    European bike identical spec to the Honda UK

    What could be the problem with buying a European bike in the UK?

    Any body bought one?

    2014 SP for £13600. Tricolor.

    Ecu could be limited power wise as France only allows 100 bhp and headlights could dip wrong way

    They have different model in france/belgium. Euro model (ED) is unrestricted/full power.

    Modern Bikes don't have the headlight kick the same as cars do the been comes out the lens straight so no need to change them or add light deflectors if traveling to euro mainland!
