Hello guys
New member here from the big north!
I’m buying a tenere and some questions pop up, I haven’t seen the answer at least clearly that is why I hope you can help me.
I sold my bike 2 weeks ago (bmw G650gs) and immediately start looking to buy a tenere, now I found one that fit my “needs” and this week I suppose to go and finalize this thing.
However I have some doubts
It is too much 40000km for a ST2012? how many Km do these motors go, before anything mayor?
The guy I will be buying from bought it on April, drove 1000km and is selling it, "family reasons" can be something fishy here? The bike looks fine and has the 40000km service done.
My plan is to buy a ST and do a long trip, so should I weight for something with less km, let say 15000km,? Or doesn’t mater on this big bikes?
The good about one ST with 400000km plus, is that they are affordable and leave me some more room for my trip.
Also as info,
My goal is to start my trip not further than in 2 weeks, (summer is short around here), that is why I’m kind of rushing.
I have been told that I should buy a BMW Gs1200 with those km on it because is a proven bike, have good reselling value and the motor run to 170000km and plus, also if I buy a 05 to 09 they cost about the same as a ST 2012, so for the money I get more, what do you think?
I hope you have some time to answer and give me your opinion, thanks !
Ps. I have had Yamaha before but never a big one, I love my WR450 was a fun bike and bullet proof, my experience with BMW wasn’t bad but on a small bike 650 is not a big deal, nothing important to fix.
Now I’m planning to play mayor league, so I’m not sure if I have the pocket to afford one, even If I can buy one.
