Hi all,
I have just read the instructions and hope I have got it right?

I have not got a W 650 yet, but I will have soon...hopefully, and want to turn it into a cafe racer.

I have spent hours looking at your pictures, and they are just superb.

Cheers,
Terry

Guten Morgen. Hello from a maaad Inglishman!
Nice to meet you. I can speak a little German, but typing I need help from Google!

So before I buy the basic bike I have some questions:

Any idea of how much Tax I have to pay if I buy all my parts from Germany?

I also see that the Daytona parts at http://www.evamotor.nl/Daytona/kawasak_w650.htm
will not be taking any orders after December. Do we have to go to Japan to get Daytona parts?


So, I am doing my research to see haow much it will cost to build my custom Cafe (similar to AJS 7R or DB34)

Cheuss

Hello Terry

And welcome to the World of W. Congrats on the decision to build a Cafe Racer. I bought my W650 in 1999 with only one aim : strip it down and mod it to a cafe racer. Well, other prioritise have come and gone, but the W is still there with some changes int a cafe racer but a lot of things still to do as well.

I noticed you had allready found the uk/us Yahoo forum, good one!
More sites to look at :
http://www.w650-france.com
http://www.w650shop.de
http://www.zweirad-doetsch.de

When it comes to Daytona parts : They are impossible to get in Europe without the right contacts. Both EVAmotor and Bruno Doetsch are good contacts. If you want the Daytona Parts, be patient and pay the price.

You are liable to pay taxes in the country where the goods are bought, eg if you buy in Germany, you will pay German tax. The seller should inform you on how much that tax is, it will differ from country to country (even within the EU).

For buying a W650, there are new ones out there, rather pricy (my personal opinion). Good second hands pop up from time to time, keep an eye on all these websites and on ebay but I do advice to buy in England. That will be a lot easier because of importing, shipping, registering...

Good Wluck
Joris

Hi Joris,
Nice to meet you and thankyou for teh excellent information. It all helps.

So far on my wish list of parts....

Goldie - tank either VD Classics France (seem expensive) or 650shop.de
Front fender- Daytona I think it is stainless steel
Pipes - Not too sure. I like the Supatrapps, but I want maybe upswept reverse cones. I like loud, but not too mad.
Seat - Single with hump like a clubmans style so many to choose from. (One with the most comfortable seat thick foam)
Ace bars
I have downloaded loads of photos, and want to merge loads of ideas, trying not to copy any one design. Most of the pictures come from Japan and a few from:

http://kawasakiw650.co.uk/template/W650compasspage.htm

I like the look of the black W with the supertrapp exhaust.
I will buy a UK bike, it is a lot less hassle. Just wish I'd known about the spares when I was working in Kobe, Japan!


What is the best version to get '99 '00 etc? I will not afford a new one.

Cheers,
Terry

not if you live in the ec

If you live in the ec you do not pay the tax where you buy, but where you live.


But be sure not to buy a german clock - it runs "slower" because we count in km not in miles

Hello Girls....

Nice to see you all. Ok I will make it a priority to buy a German speedo. If it runs slower, I will just have to ride faster
