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.
