My 2000 4tx speedo is in kph and has a warning label on the tank written in french...

So am thinking this bike was imported from france as all bikes back then were in mph here in Ireland, I think we started around 2005

Anyone know for definite ?

All uk bikes are mph ? yes

Just curious  :good:

Yes, official UK bikes are MPH. I have a French import XL600R which is kms. I like kms. There’s more of them and they tick by quicker.

84 Honda XL600R  :)

04 TDM900  :good:

Was thinkin as much, mine must def be a French import then so anyone got ideas on tracing a bikes history between eu states
Not looking for owners names just general info, what region it was registered in etc etc

I wouldn't mind knowing where my bike came from too. Just out of curiosity. 2001 and clock in kms. The registration cert has the original reg number, tried looking it up but no joy.
