read the link i posted,its those models that use hondas patented noise cancelling that are illegal,i think its just the red cased models they were after (KGE1000tsi, KGE1300tc, KGE1300tsc, KGE2000tc, KGE2000ti, KGE3000tc and KGE3000ti models)

there have been loads of them crushed,have a look on google altho its old news now as this was last year when they got the injuction.

thats why some models nigh on impossible to get hold of because

1.sellers who have them are scared to sell them
2. those that have them dont want to sell them as they wont be able to get another
3.they are very few and far between as so many have been destroyed.

to try and justify yours is legal just because you own one is quite funny actually

let me put it this way,my sister in law works for a honda dealership about 20 miles away..you think if i told her you were selling one of the illegal kipor gennies her boss would turn a blind eye? (altho it makes no difference to me and im not a snitch )

all im saying is be careful where you buy from and who you sell to..ignorance of the law doesnt mean you get off if caught.

i know a lad at our club was trying to buy a big 3kw kipor one and the seller on ebay told him that he had his stock confiscated(he was a big dealer of them apparently)

i couldnt give 2 hoots wether you have 5 of them,but i dont like to see people waste money if you got caught.

quote from site:

Honda (UK) has now carried out its "Big Crush" and warns competitors that it will "always take action against those willing to flaunt the law".
now im guessin thats more aimed at kipor than the general public,but dealers have been hit with crush orders.
