I recognise them by the badge/stamp on the RHS of the frame near the screen brace. Or, the oil cooler under the headlights

Slightly more power yes.. 64ps instead of 59ps I think.

Slightly different carb setup and possibly exhaust too.

A well setup JDM bike will make just as much power.

I believe 59ps was the maximum that Japan could quote for a 400cc, there's some info around somewhere on this will try and find it. It may or may not have been accurate...

Edit: It was your informative post I stole this info from Neo!
