Hello, I'm a lurker that finally made an account to ask an odd question.
I'm in the US military and stationed in Japan. The fortuitous exchange rate means that I can get a Grom off of the showroom floor for ~$2750 before taxes. My question concerns the EPA and DOT as pertains to import and registration. Since the bike was made after 1977 and is less than 25 years old it is required to conform to all US requirements before it can be registered. Through my digging the only difference in international models I could find is the headlight, which I doubt a DMV will even notice.
I bow to your expert knowledge: Does anyone know if there are any other differences, most specifically in terms of emissions?
