Although I'll also keep an eye open for her XT rebuild video.

I agree with 99% with what you are saying, but I don't think that rebuilt-from-the-ground-up 600 Tenere is cheap to purchase? Neither is a self rebuild...

If you can buy an XT like that, needing work, for say R30 000, then with another R30-40 000 you can build it like it's new.

I am talking doing it yourself.

Frame and cycle parts; blasted, primed and painted......... R3000

Engine; rebore, piston and rings, all oil seals, camchain, 2 x main bearings, Conrod kit, full gasket set, set of clutch plates, complete carb kit, air filter,
2 x rubber inlet manifolds, fuel tap kit, oil filter, valve stem seals comes to...........R9203.

Seat recovered........R1200?

Tyres and tubes........................R4000?

Spoke kits, front and rear.........R3000.

Paintwork of tank and cover.....R5000

Steering head bearings.............R1100

You now sit with a total of R56 503.

Even if you allow for rebuilding the wiring loom, replacing a fender, perhaps handlebar switches, you will still come in under R80 000, which

is far less than any bike of it's equivalent on todays market.
