I know of at least one Australian dealer who has a full english version of the manual for 2000 model GSF250V's.
I ring their workshop and usually offer them $20 to copy and fax to me the section I need. They have no issue with doing this as the time as cost is covered. I just give em my credit card number and they have it pumping out the fax within 20 mins
I too was told/though there was no manual in english for the VVT bikes in Aus but there surely is
