Would suggest it should be a white one, are the rims a pale gold anodised?
The one piece tank ie not a tank shelter with an alloy one underneath, would suggest it's not a UK model.
to slow it down you put a bigger rear sprocket on or a smaller front sprocket on, so 9 / 42 is lower than 10 /42, it's approx equal to 10 / 47
9 / 41 is approx equal to 10 / 45
I've used a 4rt with both 9 / 41 & 9 / 42 on. Either makes it is easier to ride a 4rt without using a clutch than say riding at 10 / 42.
Based on the UK prices for the other models Honda UK don't seem to use the same exchange rate as everybody else. The euro / £ exchange rate has changed considerably but UK prices have remained the same.
I'm fairly certain Al the Spanner used to do it on new bikes as part of the PDI when White Bros were one of the UK's largest Trials dealers. Sadly now defunct.
