Yamaha Tenere 250 for sale - Argentina/Chile $1500USD

Hi Everyone

All good things come to an end, and given that I'm now married to an Argentine with a baby on the way, I have to sell my bike and return to Australia in early July 2024

It's registered in Colombia, and I have the 'poder internacional de circulacion y exportacion' which has served me perfectly since 2019. We would have to have an escribano/notario change that over, and cross the border to change the TIP. It's currently insured also.
A close friend is an escribano here in Argentina, and can do the papers and apostille. The owner was well known and a meticulous owner, I'm trying to get back in touch with him to keep him in the loop.

Looking to meet up in central Argentina or Chile.

The good

2015 Tenere 250
99000km
Tall wind screen
Crash bars
Rear pannier bars (I used Ortleib bicycle soft panniers and top bag)
Sheep skin seat cover
Newish chain and sprockets, brake pads (less than 5000km apx)
60%+ Metzler Sahara tyres
New battery 2 months old
Rebuilt starter motor
Regular documented service history, including valve timing, shock oil, rear shock, brake fluids, oil and filter every 3000km apx
Starts everytime, doesnt blow smoke or leak ANY oil!
Mature Australian owner.
Price!!


The bad.

Has travelled nearly 100000k (but will probably go 50000 more!)


The ugly.

Minor drop damage to RH tank fairing, and general cosmetic wear from travel
Some fairing bolts missing/changed - doesnt affect travel
Small tear in front shock rubber boot.
Tear in seat.
Missing LH mirror mount (I have the mirror and stalk)

For the right price I could include a top tank bag (Nelson Rigg) used helmet 60cm, Armoured warm weather jacket, Draggin kevlar jeans 33inch waist, XL Alpine stars gloves, Kryptonite disc lock.

Start your adventure quickly (but maybe add some LED spotlights, and a phone/GPS mount).

Can send recent photos via WhatsApp.

Any questions, please contact me directly on WhatsApp

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
