[QUOTE="WSD40, post: 1464765, member: 90525"] I would imagine that most people wouldn't be that bothered about it being an import as it is practically identical to a UK Spec machine, but there is always the possibility that they might try and knock the price down a bit. Regarding the temp gauge and fuel consumption. I've not found it to be too big a problem, I've learnt a few temps in Fahrenheit so I know roughly what the temp is in Centigrade, e.g. 50F =10C, 59F=15C, 68F = 20C. For the fuel consumption I use an app to record the mileage and amount of fuel used whenever I fill up, this gives an accurate mpg. But at the end of the day it's your decision on whether to keep the bike, I agree the dealer should have been aware, and should have disclosed that it was an imported bike. Also , I've just checked my V5 and there is a note, "SVA/IVA Cert issued 26 02 2009" which is what is issued to prove an imported vehicle meets UK specifications, e.g, lights, etc. So I would expect the same on your V5.
