What about an Apirila Pegaso (factory) like this one on eBay item number 263194696118, same engine Just a thought as can be a bit cheaper

This one

yes looks a very good bike for the money. better than the X for long distance but still fun on the back roads ?. looking at the condition closely the low mileage looks right

Just to annoy you here's a local orange beastie just advertised

If your looking Pegaso’s then it’s the strada you want with the mag wheels and no inner tubes as for the one in the link he’s had it for ever way too expensive.

As for KTM’s any talk about such normally gets banned,but just be aware of what you are getting into they make very focused bikes that really do get to the human parts that most bikes do not!!! But as someone who has an interest in a small motorcycle repair set up we view them with complete dread because with most things Japanese a combo of plenty of spares and relatively cheap new ones make a far better option than genuine KTM parts which always results in a repair bill close to telephone numbers.

Assuming you have a decent bank balance then it doesn’t matter.

and also if you have a KTM in your garage it will get stolen or they will try thats for sure. And your right the one in the link i would say �2600 would be a better price, you never know when someone needs the money. that's how i buy all my bikes,just keep kicking people in the nuts on price someone always say yes in the end and if not they can only say no so no harm done.you never know an less you ask

So........let's see the TENERE you're looking at at / bought.

Well that happened to the 660R I previously had... :P But I've decided to go for a Tenere, now it's just about finding the right one.

We'll, currently waiting for more photos of the one posted on the ADV forum. Besides that, there's not too many around that's appealing to me. If this one https://www.gumtree.com/p/yamaha-mot...54856?srn=true
was any closer to me I'd probably bought it by now. Still looking in to if it's possible to arrange with flight or so but it's not looking too bright right now.

I'm keeping an eye out on Gumtree, eBay and ADV and something should come up soon. I still have my old bike so I'm in no rush.

persevere brother, the right Z will turn up.
