Grey Import refers to any bike imported by someone other than the offical UK importer...regardless of engine size.
There were a glut of bikes from Japan in the 80's mainly 250's & 400's due to the Japanese licensing laws, making it difficult to ride anything bigger...Really strict ''mot'' making very expensive to keep 'old' 1yr + bikes on the road & finaly & the best bit the manic inter factory tech wars meaning new models every 6 months, which the yoff of Japan had to have as was the fashion.
End result wharehouses stuffed to the gunnels with super trick 250 & 400 secondhand bikes that couldnt be sold in Japan...crate them up & ship here..instant sales boom...

Good point about the tank Kev. Maybe I'm wrong then., it does have MPH clocks. Now get back to enjoying your holiday in Italy. I hear they do good Ouzo there. LOL I don't suppose you have 14 Turkish ships hiding there do you.

Wow that is some seriously low mileage. I don't think we have had any on here as low as that accept that silly priced anniversary one brand new and in the showroom.
