Hi
I am Pk, I am a fairly new rider looking to get my 1st Super Tenere. I have 2 options i need to make a decision on, pretty much the same bike only difference is mileage and extras and obviously the price. Both bikes look clean and in good nick. The bike 2 with less mileage on the other side of the country though, if I buy it I would have to do it without seeing it and go on pics and conversation with seller, then there would be the shipping cost of getting it here. The bike 1 with more mileage I will be able to view and ride home if i buy it, less than 100km away.
I would like to get some advice from more seasoned Super Tenere owners, i think the risk of not being able to view bike 2 together with the shipping cost will have a cost implications that might take the bike over 100K. My question is is the 57 925km difference worth it? or should i just try get the bike closer to me and not worry too much about the mileage.
