Street legal XR 650R in Europe?
In which country can I buy a street legal 650 R(blinkers, speedometer) in Europe?

Planning on doing the TransSiberian Highway.

Thanks for any advice.

Update:
did a web search for Honda U.K., Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands and Czech Rep.

The only two to list 650R: U.K. and Spain. Did not have blinkers, not sure if street legal.

the wiring is all there so you need indicators, relay and rubber band - 120 pounds

Thanks guys for the info!

Just to answer my own question - almost half way down the page there is a table listing in which markets they sell the street version, at least as an option:
http://www.xr650r.us/xr650r_faq/

Looks like except the U.S. pretty much everywhere.

In the UK, if the bike is single seater, and primarily intended for off road use, it doesn't need indicators to be registered here. (have got MOT test on my Suzuki RMX250 two years running without indicators. That is my understanding of the 'construction and use regulations'
