It would be nice for the UK if it was in Oceania, the climate is better... but they don't have many roads or race tracks.
The UK is actually in Europe. If you can move some of your tasty race tracks and roads to the U.S., let me know, I'd love to ride them.

I'd go with Europe. I think they're sometimes different for UK because they convert kilometres to miles and then round it to a neat number.

stick to the left hand side one. the Gladdy has a special coating on the bores so you would be advised to use good quality oil along with changes every 3500 miles including the filter and use a genuine oil filter. keep an eye on suzuki bike of the month for oil filters and the Gladdy uses the same as almost every single suzuki bike.

oil filter part number is 16510-07J00

Is 3500 miles necessary Bibio for oil change?
I normally change it when my conscience gets flustered and I feel guilty of neglect, usually at the 5k mark. Am I at risk of damage or a visit from the NSPCSVs ... I do keep a close eye on levels though.

depending on riding habits (fast riders and city commuters need to change more often), quality of oil and number of top ups. you could stretch it but 5k is a bit too much 4-4.2 maybe. bad oil will gum rings up as all the detergents will have been used up. best sticking to 3.5k with filter every change. i'll do 1-2 small top ups before a change and every 3rd/4th change i'll chuck an engine flush in which removes the gum (if there is any) around the piston rings.

the galddy is a different kettle of fish as it has a bore coating on it so strict oil changes would be advisable. from what i can remember the bore is aluminium with a special diamond like coating applied. if you scratch it or wear it using bad oil changes and cheep oil its goodnight bores.
