Mine is only a 700. Isn't it included in the small ones?

I think so. There are guys here that know a lot more about the small fours.

Bonus info: Bikes cost at least twice as much here compared to US prices
Yes, here too in the UK. A lot of classics have been imported here from US already.
The primary drive and clutch damper arrangement is very similar across all the 400\500\550\650\700\750 fours. The 900\1000\1100 have a gear primary drive instead, as opposed to a chain.
Don't worry about the clutch going bang, I've never heard of it once on a kawi 4, whilst virtually every bike now has this clutch basket rattle.
