Its no problem finding parts for it. You can also get a larger Acerbis tank that doubles its range.

The TT600R was Yamaha's hard-core enduro bike. That particular model, the TT600R, was built in Italy with many high-spec components.

In 2003 the TT600RE was launched. It lost the adjustable suspension, and gained an electric starter instead of the kicker. It was also a slightly heavier and lower. Still a good reliable bike.

I'd go for the non-E , I prefer kickstarter, I am a person who thinks less electronic components on machines is the better way. Thanks for that tip, I'll totally look for a TT600R and the bigger tank might be a must have (not cheap though). I think I will spend at least 1000 just for spare/changing parts :/
I also found a way to rent a garage cheaply but I still can't drive it around so it'd be kind of pointless to buy it before next spring.

I use and get it ready for a long trip an XT600E.
I can say to you that is the best value for money moto you can buy.
See to my signature on the XT600 title for details..

Interesting...every time I ask about this in different forums most say I should get a TT600 Belgarda, for obvious reasons. I kind of fell in love with the Tenere 3AJ though :/ Hard decision
