morning ,some years ago I brought a 600 fazer from one of the uk 's biggest chain ,after 12 months of proud ownership I took it for its mot (not at said stealer i got it from) it failed !!! turns out it had continental headlights in, and yes I only rode in daylight so I didn't notice the beam pattern ,after taking it back I was told I had damaged the bile and put cheap euro lights in . After checking all the hpi papers bill of sale etc saying it was a full uk bike I then checked with Yamaha direct who told me the bike was a Greek model . After speaking to a legal advisor and armed with all the evidence I went back and threatened them with the M.D of the company ,ministry of transport etc at that point I was offered a like for like exchange the only other fazer in stock was 3 years newer and lower mileage, result . so don't take no for an answer the law is on your side fight to get your brass back and walk away
PS my bike had come from Europe to northern Ireland registered there then on to the uk .Also another easy check for a euro bike is which side the steering lock is ,in case it falls over they are supposed to roll kerbside .
