Tenere?

hi


I'm new here!

...and I don’t have a bike... yet!

But I have a question.

I saw a tenere... Very cheap and thinking if I should buy it. The problem is that I'm a 1m 63cms. not to big!

Do you think I can ride this bike?

best regards from portugal

If you can ride you can ride it. When riding you don't want to seek contact with the ground. But you might have a problem manoeuvering the bike. Do like the small frenchman with his Paris-Dakar BMW [forgot his name].

I think it's him!

So the nest step after buying the Tenere is doing the Paris Dakar raid! :-) ... I hope
