You're right, European models sometimes are more expensive.
So if person live in western part of country, like St.Peterburg or Moscow it is easy
to purchase from Germany, for example, and if in Vladivostok like <b>donik</b>,
sure it is cheaper to get from Japan, as transportation across country also not so cheap.
Also prices slightly lower in Japan, that is why we have a lot of firms which are
will import any vehicle for you from Japanese Auctions. Most of Japanese Auction
has very strict assessment system, so vehicle condition often exactly as described.
So a lot of japanese vehicles going across whole country and we have a lot of
right-handed cars with right-side driving schema. In most eastern parts of country
I guess approx. 60-80% personal cars are RH, because of price/quality parameter.
Changing headlamp is quite expensive, as new one cost about $300-400 and not
always available to order, so manyriders do like this picture found recently in Internet

and unfortunately often removes this after Gov't technical inspection procedure
(equal to MOT in UK I guess).
About speed limit, there are almost all of bikes and cars has this limit
(now I talking about Internal models only), as it is Gov't Law in Japan
limiting top speed at 180 km/h and top power at 280 hp.
At TDM 850 is this case there are sensor and alum. sector part (movable with arrow)
inside Speedo drive, so it sends current arrow position (eq current speed) information
to Ignitor unit assy. So replacing Ignition box from European model solves this problem.
