Retired Honda Generator Guy here:
Not worth it, as not only are the plugs/receptacles/cords different, and the 60/50Hz issue, but the non-mechanical bits on a USA vs. EU specs Honda generators are night and day. So for best results, just rent an Euro-spec generator when you get there. Sure, it will add $$ but significantly reduce hassle and probably safer too. Oh, and all EUxxxxi Honda modles use an inverter, and are a lot more sophisticated than a standard/traditional genset. The inverter is the single most spendy part, so if the smoke escapes from one, well, that's what we call round these parts a boar-hoggin'
