I suspect that Germany is getting the same power limiter that comes on the Thai spec bike..prolly all emission related. What it does is retard ignition timing at higher RPM. There is a bypass available in Thailand for dirt cheap. This bypass returns the top speed to the 135-140kph range.
Here's the 'low down' from a Thai fella that posted at thumpertalk.

"For all those riders who have a restricted bike there is now a kit available to derestrict them.
The way you will know if your bike is restricted is it will have a top speed of between 112 – 120Kmh on the flat tucked in and be really underpowered going up mountains and feel like a 125 on the free way.
Once you fit the kit the bike will reach 132Kmh sat up and over 140Kmh tucked in, I have seen 150Kmh down a hill tucked in!
The restrictor fitted by Kawasaki works by retarding the ignition timing. So the kit does not actually increase the power of the bike and thereby the engine is not put under any more strain and will have the same life span as a stock set up.
The kit costs 2800 baht to purchase and is free post to any were within Thailand.
It takes 5 - 10 mins to fit the kit, all the internal components are housed with in a “black” box that you can drive a car over or submerge in water and it will not damage any thing at all!
The kit comes with full fitting instructions and is really easy to fit; it has been tried and tested on 4 machines so far and has received great reviews.
I am acting as a go between for a friend, should you wish to have further details then please contact me at k.lx250@hotmail.com
It is worth noting that some bikes have come from the factory unrestricted and others have unrestricted them self’s after accident damage. This can not be explained yet"
