Well Ferret, BMW do not make the Akrapovic pipes on the R9T, but it is still a BMW. Yamaha do not make Ohlin shocks, but the bikes they sell with Ohlins are still Yamahas. You could say the same for all the bikes with Brembo brakes etc. Honda Switzerland, which is an official Honda retailer, have the special paintjob done and mount the special equipment. It is not like a bike-shop doing it, but actually Honda. Granted, it is not done in a Honda Japan factory, but I still think it qualifies as an official Honda.
I think it is quite common also in the car industry for the distributors in certain countries to make special series that are official cars even though they were not modified in the factory.
