Hi, hoping to look at a USA imported XB9R. Are there any differences to the UK bike?

I've looked at specs online and different websites seem to list different BHP - but none mention why and if that is a specific country spec.

Thanks, Bob

Don't US bikes have different gearing (primary and final I think) that gives better acceleration but lower top end and more revs at any given speed in top? Might only be the 12's but sure :maz: or someone will be along soon to put me in my place ;)

If it is later than 2005 (i.e. under 10 years old) you may have to submit it to an SVA test, unless it is already UK registered.

They put European gearing on the Tubers they exported to please the Hippies.
