Blue. 3863 actual miles.
Factory saddle bags and heated grips
Like new condition, never off road, never dropped, no scratches, dings or dents.
Clear title, YES extended warranty until 3/17.
Hepco Becker skid plate and Yamaha (Canada) headlight protector are the only mods.
Great bike but because of the saddle height and my back this isn't working out for me.
I'm going to ask $9000.00 but this is negotiable.
Located in southeast Michigan

Thanks, but I don't know if I'm even going to get another bike.
Once this is gone I plan on taking my time at the dealerships to see what will suit me (my back) best.

Re: Blue 2012 Super Tenere for sale

Can I ask what kind of bck issues prevent you from riding this bike? I myself have herniated L4 and L5 disc, and C6 and C7 neck disc. I never had surgery and cope with proper stretching and hydration. My DRZ400S would put me out of commission for weeks after riding, the thruxton gives me no issues other than top middle of shoulder blades after an hour or so. This is the reason I am looking at a Tenere, everyone says they are soooo comfortable.

Re: Blue 2012 Super Tenere for sale

When I was a kid I was carrying a freshly machined 440 block I was putting together.
I turned and my back just gave out, I went down like a sack of potatoes.
Never been to the Doctor to see exactly what I did.
But now days, the issue is my lower back and hip trying to get on and off the bike.
I'm 6'3 and more often than not I can't get my leg over it to go for a ride, hence the low miles.
What bothers me the most is the thought of getting out somewhere and maybe not being able to get back on it.
On a good day, I'd swear the bike was custom made for me, it's a perfect fit, plenty of arm and leg room, comfortable seat, compliant suspension and good wind protection.

Wow, I'm 6'3" with the L4L5 issue, it my leftside lower back. When it goes out its like an electric shock goes thru me. Stretching and PLENTY of water helps me tremendously, like 6 bottles a day at least. Hope you get better, there are exercises that will help you, if you do them...
