70000Km shouldn't be a reason to put you off buying a Tenere.

The engines are strong, just look for evidence of regular oil/filter changes and all the usual stuff.

The regulator/rectifier connector is prone to failure, but on a 2009 bike with 70K on it, you can probably assume it has: (a) gone already and been replaced or, (b) it's lasted this long so it probably isn't going to fail! Either way there are cheap fixes for this issue.

The bearings (all of them) were never greased well at the factory, so check the swingarm and linkage for squeaks and excessive play. Get the rear wheel off the ground and have a good old tug from side to side. Same at the front - get the wheel off the ground and check for smooth operation of the steering.

At 70K, the OE Sachs shock will almost certainly be well past its best. Look to see if it has been replaced, if not see how it performs and if its bad, haggle on the price.

Good luck!
