"AJP" Honda CBF bikes?

I'm 18 and I plan on doing my a2 licence after I turn 19. I've been looking at bigger bikes just to see what's around and what the prices are. Specifically I've been looking at Honda CBF500/CB500F bikes. I've been looking on Facebook marketplace and I noticed a lot of older CBF 500 models say AJP at the beginning. They don't look any different from the normal ones in the pictures but am I missing something? And does anyone have any other advice on what to look for if I do decide to get this bike?

I can't remember what it stands for but either are a good bet.

The CBF500 is more powerful than the later CB500F and an entirely different bike.

I have the CBF500 and it's a fantastic workhorse and tourer.

AJP motorcycles import from Portugal.

Got a link to any of ones you've found on Facebook?

I've seen bikes from every manufacturer under the sun (OK, I exaggerate) advertised as AJP on Facebook, which leads me to think that the form for submitting an ad has a drop-down list of manufacturers and AJP is alphabetically the first. So you're most likely looking at bikes where the seller hasn't selected the manufacturer name
