Thanks to all for the info on the Moto.
Please note that if you read my original post carefully (or even if you read it without much care) you will see that not only is it not my bike, I have no relation to the owner whatsoever.
As for whether the bike was made for the English or US market, the page i linked clearly states the owner is in the UK, so the bike was probably sold there when new.
Carefully reading posts before replying can certainly simplify conjecture and responses!
Thanks again,
