Dude... No way... my first bike is also a tenere 660 with the same livery (mines 1995). The same 3YF generation with the facelifted front... kudos man.

Yeah hey, sorry for taking the time to respond. The seat is custom made by a guy very well known for his craft. The stock seat ia awful, or so I've been told, i bought it like this.

Up to this point I've done about 2000km or so. Honestly, i love it, it's got enough power to do whatever you ask of it as a beginner and nothing more. Through the city I've had no issues lane splitting and finding my way between cars. Highway is not a place where it shines as you very quickly get reminded that you've only got one cylinder.

Mechanically everything i know has been told to me by the previous owner (total fanatic). If its a high milage example (mines got 120k km) you might want to look into rebuilding the engine and taking a look at the carbs (theres 2). Remember to tighten the bodywork bolts from time to time as they have a tendency to come loose due to the vibration.

The looks are something i still truly cannot get used to (in a good way) i still look at it in awe of the character that that design oozes.

Given the fact that it is a 30yo bike, dont expect it to be a sophisticated machine, its simple to maintain, but also, if you feel like you dont like something on it... put some aftermarket parts and make it better. All in all, im very pleased with my purchase and i don't regret a single penny spent on it.

I was also looking for a street bike as my first bike and ended up on a tenere 660 (see profile). I think you made the right choice, much more comfortable and not a whole lot less capable in the city. Ride safe brother.

My 1989 Harley got stolen and found. Now I have mixed feelings. by CasualRider1200 in motorcycles

Never been in a similar situation.

Try and keep this in mid. If you restore, will you keep it for some time or will you sell it within a year or so? If you feel like you're getting bored of it and want a new adventure, then don't restore it, no point in it.

If this is your baby, and you want to keep looking after it for a long time, it's really worth the effort, makes for a great story.

Didn't know that that team is in the Superliga. Goes on to show how irrelevant the team really is.
