Yeah I would say so. Has your bike still got any idiot stickers? Mine were all in French which was a bit of a giveaway.

It's nothing to worry about. Loads of these bikes were brought in as parallel imports from the EU and are same spec as UK.

Have the headlights been swapped over? UK lights will both come on with dipped lights. On EU lights only the left hand headlight comes on when dipped - and it's a projector type light.

If you've got the European lights it should be a MOT failure. If you've got UK lights then happy days.

If you want the odometer to read right your only option is to get used clocks off ebay.

EDIT: PS if you do have Euro lights a bit of sticky tape on the headlight is all you need to get through the MOT. Cover up the part where the beam kicks up to the right and you're sorted.
