anyone considered or went through with getting an import from
Europe or USA?

and if so was it through a dealer or of your own back

just been looking and a few prices
New F4 Senna $29,999 (usa) - £21,500 here
New F4 100 CC$120,000 (usa) £70,000 here

has anyone made a worthwhile saving and warranty still intact? on any bike

kind of sick being ripped of here with any purchase whether it be a car, bike, home, drink, etc

Gray or grey (not sure of spelling) is a model that is not produced for the UK, like SV400 they only have SV650's over here. Parallel import is is the same model and spec as bikes made for the UK however will prob have different headlight settings and will be in km instead of mph.

Not sure of the process however, do know it costs about £100 to get speedo an km converted to mph.
