Yamaha Tenere is back

[Demon]

This Dakar look Tenere CHIO really!

 

But 21k for a 660cc really expensive!!!

 

$24.5k for a GS650, and not a whimper. Strange ?

 

[ProFatSir]

21k not include the acc(panniers/crash bar/this and that)can hit almost 25k.

 

why not consider a 2nd hand bmw.

Yes bro, i do agree with u.

 

Let's wait for awhile n hope Looi's can lower down de price,recession now man!

[ccrider]

tooooo ex!

[ProFatSir]

Yes bro, i do agree with u.

no way the price is going to drop.

@ this price ppl will consider a ktm:thumb:

[AJ..]

so who is the people who would buy KTM?you?or the rest of Singaporeans?

 

 

Loois motor is not going to cry if the rest of Singaporean would say that it's so ex....

Although i would personally agree it's ex...but i would not agree with the people would rather buy a KTM with that kind of money statement....

Some people rather spend money on long term reliability and a bike for keeps...not someting to add to their long journal of exotic bike collection and to sell in a no time...

 

It's just a good thing that Loois motor willing to bring it in when our local Yamaha big man not willing....So let's just say,we should be grateful that at least,this bike lands here....who knows,someday we have a chance to buy it 2nd hand....

[norishimu]

hey bros, for parts - only loois bringing em in? like example if i damage smthing on e bike.. hoping to get my first class 2 bike.. had fazer in mind.. till i saw the tenere..

[mumumu]

Well said A.J:thumb: but buy second hand, wait nong nong...

 

I agree it's ex but who else have it in this part of the world?? Even the Oz guys don't have it yet though they have a bigger market. Credit must give a bit to loois. The price is not unreasonable given that it's also European product - Minareli engine(Aprilia pegaso), Paoli forks, It's made in Italy by the way.

 

For parts, there is this thing called the 'WORLD WIDE WEB'...

Yes, rather ex for a bike like this. Perhaps it's going to be imported in limited numbers, therefore the high price?

[Baal]

hope they bring in the Motard Version too.

High price, yes 1)it's short in supply 2)it's made-in-europe.

U mean the xt660r? HL already have the 250 version. Go check it out

oh, i meant the XT 660X.

 

The motard version as shown in the yamaha europe website.

[norishimu]

any1 riding tenere yet.. waiting fr reviews..

[AJ..]

i think it's already in some parts of Australia already....a friend have rented one during his honeymoon months ago...

 

i think the reason why it is high is due to Euro went up?

euro bikes have always been selling so high...even there's the latest production of XR650R which comes with both electric start and kickstart,the price,is so scary....maybe the reason why it's not available in the rest part of the world.

.As you can see,even the new V-strom 1k is about 20k.Mr Lee have told me that this was not brought in from Japan.i can't really recall,but he must have said in one of the European country...So to say,that the bike is being imported from Japan to Europe,then maybe some sales and paperwork procedure before importing to Singapore.

 

And i read from @-asia...have seen 2 sightings FBD plater tenere.

1 ang moh rider,and 1 malay rider.well,there's still a chance to wait for 2ndhand...my XR650R which is also limited no,is also no 1st hand...i've been wanting to buy it since it's debut in 2000,but thought it will not land in Singapore after waiting,so end up with XRV...then keep ending up in the wrong bike becoz i don't think i can afford to buy a thumper more than 10k...the price for a new XR650R after it is launch is about 15k.and i think the last few units it went slightly down to 14k due to COE...until it's all gone.

So,only 2yrs ago,which i finally settle for it...a second hand...and still happy that i finally got it after all this years...this is a real wait and passion for a bike...

If you want to compare, in US a DR650 out of door price (locally known as On-the-Road) is only USD4999. A DR650 costs even less in Australia, probably due to favorable SGD-AUD exchange rate.

 

For BMW bikes, singaporeans assholes get torn even more

 

But, there is really not much we can do about it if you really want it bad.

 

 

 

Try saying that in the BMfookinW thread or forum...i would love to hear what they will call you or say after that...how?scared?

There is nothing to be afraid of if that's the truth. People who think BMW machines are valued for money are either in denial or they have money that grows on trees.

 

BMW has generated alot of perceived values through their publicity such as Long Way Down. The technical people can only do that much so in order to make the BMW the ultimate riding machine, that gap is bridged by the marketing guys.

 

When was the last time a BMW bike won a major race ?

1 ang moh rider,and 1 malay rider.

 

Can anyone confirm this? There is one sg 'Kevin' from xt660.com self imported one. Maybe that's the angmoh. Other than that only looi's i saw got 5 units.

[njh]

Nice fierce looking bike.

Saw a beige/grey one few days back in Tampines Mall area.

Too bad was traveling opp direction with him and only mange to to catch a glimpse of it for a few seconds.
