They registered a VIN series for it, starting with JH2SC658XHK000001. (Check that [url=https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/decoder/]here.) I suspect that means that's all they did and that they didn't bother with getting all the emissions approvals, but you might like to check that with whoever is responsible for issuing such approvals.Cormanus, you are right. They were very far along with importing them, to the extent that parts were ordered and stocked, and presently available at US dealers, for a bike never imported here. Reason is unknown.
You could build a new US legal 2017 RS from parts. Probably for less than $75k.
