It is with motorcycles. In 1997 I picked up a 400cc Honda V twin for around two grand, 7,999km on the clock and showroom condition that was a grey import from Japan. Their equivalent of the MoT was so tough people didn't bother and just bought another new one. I don't know if they are still imported but they were in big numbers at the time. I believe the Japanese home market is limited to a max of 400cc and there were loads of what were otherwise 900cc machines such as Fireblades imported from there with the smaller lump.
