If it has electrical problems I would be very careful. It sounds like the loom got burned out. If this is the case then anything could go wrong AFTER you paid him the money, even if he says he fixed it and you paid the 8000 dm. I personally wouldn't buy it...


Take care...

	Hi !

	I have just wanted to take your opinion about a decision I have to make.
	For the last couple of weeks I've been planing to change my bike. At the
	moment I own a Dominator 1990 and now I am trying to sell it for 4000DM.
	The engine has some problems so this is the only price I can sell my
	bike. I am searcing for a second hand bike, I was planning to buy a
	Tenere 1993-94 as money is not much. Today I learned about a second hand
	@. But it has got some problems and I couldnt decide to buy it or not.

	This AT is 1991. A year or two ago it was burned at the place it was
	stored for the winter. The bike is owned by a German man who is a
	proffessional enduro racer. He also owns a bike rental company. People
	told me that the bike was very important for him, he rode it himself
	without renting, before this fire. After the bike burned he started to
	fix the bike, he imported all the required parts himself and builted the
	bike again. All needed parts are imported, fixed, and the bike finally
	repainted. Only one problem left behind, electricity. The electric
	equipment he imported was not the right ones somehow. The coonectors are
	all the same kind, e.g. all of them are male. So this guy is selling the
	bike at the moment. As far as I know he is asking for 8.000DM, he would
	possibly not refuse 7500DM. But I am not sure whether he will be giving
	the bike after solving this problem or not.

	Two friends of him told me different things. One said he will fix the
	bike and sell it afterwords, other told told he is selling the bike as
	it is now.

	Is this bike worth 7500DM with this electricity problem? Or shall I pay
	e.g. 8000DM and want the bike fixed. If he insists on 8000 DM and says I
	cannot do anything about this problem you should solve it yourself,
	would it still be wise to buy the bike.

	Thanx a lot for your nice comments,
	BoBo
