My Kaw W650 didn't have heaters
W650s in several countries came with carb heaters. The bikes were equipped with Keihin dual carbs almost like ours .... maybe a mm or so smaller intakes. The USA W650 did not come with heaters. After 52000 miles and 7 years of ownership, I never noticed a problem because the bike didn't have heaters.
The exception ... the W650 did begin running on one cylinder maybe 2-3 times over the time I owned her, which may have been caused by carb icing .... don't know. I would pull over to the side of the road, turn her off for a minute or so, then off we went without a hitch.
I don't think you'll miss the heaters (IMO). Unless you subscribe to the viewpoint that carb heaters are there to warm up the carbs for cold weather starts.
