Agreed, this F6 ‘idea’ is a non-starter.
Just a quick check on pricing:
1) XR50 as per UK dealer website can be had for £3900 + external starter if needed.
2) Swissauto: my figure of £3100 based on www.swissauto250.eu - €2930 x 0.88 (middle rate today) = £2580 + 20% UK VAT £516 = £3100 + shipping
3) Tech F1: my figure of £3500 based on www.technique-engineering.it - €3300 x 0.88 (middle rate today) = £2904 + 20% UK VAT £581 = £3485 + shipping
In both above 2 cases the actual exchange rate paid will of course be a good deal less favourable
4) UK price of a KZ2 engine: about £3100 + VAT = about £3720
So they’re all very expensive these days; there has been substantial price inflation across the board.
Nos. 1 and 4 are – in my opinion – easily the most fun, but No. 1 lasts an awful lot longer.
