Tenere Rays 1997 XTZ660 Tenere

Why Yamaha stopped making the Yamaha XTZ660 Tenere I'll never know but obviously they've realised the error of their ways with production of the new 2008 Tenere beginning in April 2008, so a good guess is that we'll see them in Australia during the second half of 2008.

Ray bought his Tenere on Ebay for $3,500. He fitted a Staintune pipe, rear Gearsac, Garmin GPS, fairing protection bars and tank bag. Ray, an aircraft engineer, also manufactured dual headlight protectors from a pair of wire soap dishes and its a very neat job.

Reliable engine, 20 litre tank, soap dish headlight protectors, Staintune pipe, GPS

It's 10 years old, it rattles a little bit.

Price: $3,500 on Ebay to $6,000 for dealers who are dreaming.
