That sounds right, although only difference seems to be the evap canister. I imagine a Euro bike could easily be conformed for the US, but the paperwork may not be easy, especially on a new (unknown) model. I remember investigating years ago what it would take to bring a Yamaha 500 2-stroke in from Canada; it was too elaborate and costly. And I doubt the EPA and DOT have become more streamlined since the 1980s.
