89 tenere or 02 xt600e

For travel through the americas which bike is best, an 89 xt600z tenere (3aj) about 22000 miles or a modern xt600e with larger petrol tank about 4000 miles.
what should I expect to pay for each of these bikes?

Does anyone know a company that imports xtz 600 tenere's into uk from italy?

thanks for any help.

David.

Either one would be fine, but teneres are much cooler than xt600es. Have you considered just buying a bike in the U.S.? Our prices are MUCH lower than yours.
Good luck,
Nate
