Hi there, Tenere pickup this Saturday :-)

Hi all

Pete from the Gold Coast, sold my 2011 BMW G650GS on the weekend and just done a deal on a 2011 XT660Z with 2,000km on it.

It's not the colour I wanted but it's very nice and has Barkbusters, skid plate, engine bars and centre stand which is what I would have had to buy anyway.

I'm 47 and only been riding 6 months, bike is a little tall for me but I love them so I'll deal with it

Nice

Very nice too.
You should find her way more reliable and capable than your old BMW 650 and cheaper to run.
Dont forget its only a 20 minute job to fit lowering links if the height still bothers you . A little bit would need to be cut off your sidestand and rewelded if lowering more than 15mm and your centre stand would need a bit more ooommph to engage it afterwards but all work well.

Well, she's finally mine...

May 2011 (Spain) build, 2,183km on the clock, bought from a guy in Brisbane who felt he was too short for the bike, looked after it so well he basically slept with it (never been ridden in the rain!) and it is pristine.
