Yikes! I always wondered how you got that silver engine on a '13 model.
Like Elipten, I also wonder what the story behind it is. Jumping through the DOT and EPA hoops to import a non-USA model typically costs thousands in tests and modifications, not to mention weeks of waiting. Hard to imagine that anyone would go through all that to get a bike that is essentially the same as the one sold in the U.S. (except for the engine color).
Just for grins, would you mind posting the model number from the VIN? (digits 4-8). It should be SC65x. In the U.S. a '13 model ABS would be SC655 and non-ABS would be SC651. A Euro spec model should have a different letter or number after the basic SC65 model number. (Yes, I'm kind of a numbers geek).
Edit : Your color code indicates it was originally a Candy Glory Red bike (the fastest color
)
