Hi Ernie, and thanks for your response, my buying criteria is quite simple, get an xt600 tenere with electric start for less than £2000, overhaul it for less than £500 ready for a rtw trip in 2013, with another £500 for spares and additional items, (panniers, sat nav maybe a UD fork and a new rear shock)
It's a bit early for buying the bike, but this is exactly the type of bike I am after, I've been looking for a few weeks now and this would appear to be the first viable machine I have seen.
I don't think I'll be bidding, I'll just watch the bike to see what price it goes for, so that I have a good idea of what I'm going to end up with, if I was within 12 months of the start of the trip, then yes I would certainly be considering putting an offer in.
