Sep 21, 2014 at 23:38 comment added schn93 This is not an answer to your question, but let me note that schemes need not be reduced neither. If you apply the relation $[X]=[Y]+[X-Y]$ to the inclusion $X_{red} \hookrightarrow X$, them you get $[X]=[X_{red}]$ since the underlying topological space of $X-X_{red}$ is empty. So you can erase "reduced" in your definition of the Grothendieck ring and you get the same thing.

Sep 16, 2014 at 12:42 comment added Manuel Mérida Angulo Thank you for both comments. Yes, the question is about the Grothendieck ring, defined as isomorphims classes of varieties modulo some relations. I should have written the definition in the post, I will edit it so that it is clearer.
Sep 16, 2014 at 9:15 comment added Ariyan Javanpeykar Have a look at mathoverflow.net/questions/25122/… for instance. Of course, you can define the grothendieck group without the condition of separatedness. I think noetherian (or just locally noetherian) should be enough; see Definition 1.4 in math.leidenuniv.nl/scripties/MasterJavanpeykar.pdf (I dont recommend you read that text too thoroughly...)
