Welcome!!!

Nothing has gotten “better” with the tighter emissions standards so I’d say the Euro 4 would be the better buy.

What is Euro 5 anyway ?
Now that the UK is leaving the EU will we have different emissions standards ?
Was it Euro 4 that gave us the PAIR valve ?!

Euro3 gave pair... 2014 regs. Although it predates that as cats use them.

Euro4 gave us the evap canister and extra ecu checks on things like the pair valve.

If u don't live in a city with a very strict 'green' policy, I would get the euro 4, as mentioned above, because its likely that the euro 5 engine will lose some power.. Some city's in europe are restricting acces for certain vehicles with an older euro rating, but even with a euro 4 you will be allowed in most places for many years.

Definitely, every motorcycle manufacturer will build models just for the massive UK market. How could they not, you guys have bought mind-boggling 107.551 units in total last year.

No one can be sure at this point.
I'm thinking the UK will still be looking at the EU for many of its laws, for compatibility sake.

But besides that point, manufacturers probably won't be making a special UK version of a bike. At best, you'll be able to still buy bikes in the UK you can't buy in the EU, kind of like how the 600RR is still available in the US but not the EU.

Not sure if this is meant to be sarcastic or not because I have no idea about the total number of bikes sold in the UK !
