Ah thanks Cam, that's what I wanted to hear! I actually got a response today to my email enquiry, and it was Mischa that responded. She said OK pending review of bike docs, but one difference was that she quoted 5000 euros or the German value of the bike, whichever is greater. Still a lot cheaper than CAA but contradicts the fees laid out on the application form, and the information you've just supplied.
So waiting for clarification about that, but looks like I'll be going the ADAC route either way. Even if the deposit was 10k euro/$14k, that's still a lot better than $33k with CAA.

Expect a 3000 euro deposit and 298.50 euro processing fee. At that price they will post you the carnet or for an extra amount they can DHL it to you world wide.
Good luck.

For the US riders
Just an FYI for the US guys. I've been searching the past couple weeks on how to obtain a Carnet here in the states and finally got this reply back from CAA. I forwarded the email to Mischa at ADAC to see if she will be able to issue a carnet for me after March 31st, 2015. I'll report back what I find out!
We are only issuing Carnets until March 31, 2015 and we are only using the insurance bond as the financial guarantee.
If you will be travelling before that date then please forward to me the completed application form (application attached) a copy of your vehicle registration, 2 photos of yourself, 2 photos of the vehicle and lastly a copy of the photo page out of your passport.
I will figure out the value of your vehicle and depending on the countries you will be travelling through will depend how much of an insurance bond we will need. I will let you know exactly how much that bond will be before any money exchanges hands because once I take the fee it is non-refundable.
If you are travelling past this date we still do not have any other company who will do this. The carnet law states that if there is no issuing organization in your country of residence you can go to any other country to get the carnet issued. This means you would have to contact a country in Europe. If you know which country you would like to contact I can provide you with their contact information.
Regards
