I know the seller. He is a good friend of mine. I was with him in Japan when he bought the bikes. These bikes were never imported into the USA, and the two he has were for the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market). Getting spares is kind of difficult, but It can be done.

Yep. I know him. PM me any questions you may have!

The big difference between the Japanese spec and anything that would come to the USA is the kmh speedo and lack of reflectors on the forks/tail. The headlights, tail lights, turn signals, tires, wheels and all the other stuff bears the DOT symbol so they are GTG for the USA.

Yep. I think he was going to do a restore but just doesn't have the time. I have 2 VFR400s. These little bikes are a real hoot on the track.
