New Buyer - Advice Requested

I'm in the UK and going to view/buy a TRX. I've a few questions that maybe someone can help with?
1) The bike is red with white frame and silver engine. Is this likely to be a non-UK (we call them parallel imports) bike?
2) I'll be taking the bike when I move to Sweden. If it's an import and still has right dipping, E.U. spec headlight then that will be fine. If it's a UK bike, or if it's an import with a left-dipping UK spec headlight, can anyone tell me IF I WANT TO CHANGE THE HEADLIGHT, CAN THE ACTUAL LIGHT ITSELF BE CHANGED, OR DOES IT COME AS A COMPLETE 'UNIT' WITH THE FAIRING AND HEADLIGHT AS ONE, SINGLE UNIT?
Many thanks in anticipation.

1: from my knowledge the motor would have been black if an import....
2: Don´t know really what you mean but in Sweden you´ll need dipped light during day....high beam at night and also a working parking light....and a reg plate light....and a red reflector in the read.....and....and.....WE`RE CRAZY IN SWEDEN!

headlight is separate. no need to shout, old chap.
could be that it's been repainted.

Also, forgot to add,it has no 'Yamaha' sticker above headlight and no 'TRX' on front fairing uppers - replaced/resprayed/damage/walk away?

The lack of stickers very probably suggests a respray / new fairing.
Not necessarily a reason to walk away
Give us more details and we can give you a better opinion

original plain red bikes had the TRX sticker on the tail, not the fairing. pics would be useful.
