WTB: Tenere 1VJ if you have one please.

[Barryn]

Hello

Hope you can help source a XT600 Tenere 1VJ please.
Retirement is round the corner, so will have the time to give to a good bike.
Started out with Yamaha forty years ago so looking to rekindle the relationship.

Up on Carlisle so will hopefully get out in the lakes and North Pennines or west of Scotland.

If you have one or know of one please do get in touch.

Many thanks.

Barry

Pic from forty years ago.

I have a US import '84 43F if you are looking for a project, over in North Yorkshire

Hi.. I may sell my excellent 1988 red 3AJ if you broaden your requirements! I'm in East Kent though.

Well done there's not that many about.
Looking in nice condition.
Judging by the light is it an import?
How does it ride is the important thing, and does it live up to expectations

[Barryn]

Evening Cadno.
It came to the UK 2000 ish, it’s only done four thousand miles since then. It rides great, it could do with some titivation, just little things, battery strap, swing arm chain protector, new grommets for the panels.
I may fit a better front brake hose.

Looking at possible upgrades to the suspension, but what’s fitted atm seems fine for the moment.
Alex Dalton from here has very kindly given me a set of the original hand guards (cheers Alex)

Really love the sound, missed a good thumper.
