This bike is in excellent condition and I’ve just given it a complete makeover. It's lightweight at 162kg), has good performance and the suspension works well (has a new back shock and air adjustable front forks) – and wait for it YESSSS a happy button (that’s an electric start in case you didn’t know).
It comes with the following;
- Roadworthy certificate valid till end of January 2012
- Registered and licenced to end of November 2012
- Wider front foot rests
- It has 2 x 12v power points (1 always live, the other linked to the ignition)
- Volmeter fitted
- A spare higher screen is included
- Comes with a spare bigger front sprocket
- Givi 42 litre top box with built in backrest
The bike has 62 000km on it, is a 1989 model, it’s in Cape Town and the asking price isR29 500 R26 500.
Commentary off the net on this model;
A complete redesign made the third generation of XT600Z, with type code 3AJ, look remarkably different and again closer to the Rally versions. The large frame-mounted fairing with dual headlights was novel in this category and fitted neatly with the 23 litres fuel tank. The engine saw some significant changes like a modified cylinder head, and the cylinder body had larger cooling fins. For increased cooling the engine lubrication system was changed with a larger oil cooler mounted at the front. Thus the Ténéré again became a reliable long-distance touring companion.
