how much for old tenere ?
Hi, need some help please!
"found" an old tenere, no sure of the age but its the model before the twin headlamps. its parked up in paris with a slight air of neglect, flat front tyre but not abandoned too long because the chain and discs are not rusty. 50kms on the clocks and it looks in original condition, original brush guards etc just looks abit tired.
If I can get the owner to sell it, what do you reckon is a decent price for it? Also, what else should I look out for?
Cheers

Hi - If it's "before the twin headlamps", it's not a 3AJ. I have a completely prepared 50k km 3AJ for sale in the uk for less than 2000 Euro, so I would expect this one to be more like 1000 Euro. They turn up for about 1200 Euro fairly regularly in my local paper in that kind of condition.

Enjoy
Neil
