Lovely little Super Four, dunno if they got them as official models or if grey imports are even a thing in Spain.
You can import bikes here, a couple of dealers near me get bikes in from the USA. Getting bikes in from other parts of Europe is quite easy, seeing as they are built for EU countries. As long as they are standard, its straightforward to get an ITV and registered. My Belgian neighbour has just done so with his Burgman.

It looked pretty much brand new, no idea how to age stuff on spic plates, or even if you can.
In Spain you can, well roughly. Pre 2000 the 1st letter on the plate shows which area it was registered in, and you can find the details easily enough through various websites.
From 2000, there was a system of 4 numbers and 3 letters. No vowels are used, so a 2000 plate is eg 1234 BDC.
Every few years, the next letter alpabetically is released. In Feb or March this year, 'M' was set as the first letter.
The four numbers and two end letters are randomly selected, they don't represent regions.
TL:DR In Spain, partly.
