Where have you been I haven't seen you for a couple of days what have you been doing mate. I've been on
the no-doze and the red bulls for a rapid trip interstate to collect an absolute gem
Yeah what what tell me more you want to know all about it I do I do 1989 XTZZ 750 Super Tenere
first model of the big twin Dakar replicas and here she is baby have a good gander out of my
god it looks in good nick. Overall it's high mileage it's got a transplant motor from an
850 which was a common mod back then but i got the stock 750 motor with it as well
bonus always all right and high mileage high use transplant motor but it's all there and that's
the real key thing when we're chasing these old classic Tenere's is that everything is there if
you want to restore it back to like a show types restoration me that's not really my style I just
love them I just make this cleaner neater tidier the sort of thing I can ride just up the road to
summer bay as we call it on TV here in Australia and then maybe she'll get a run out west at some
stage or other mate but it's all there Dave and the big thing with the 750 they just never come
up for sale so when this guy Gordon in Victoria reached out to us at Tragic's here to uh to
say he was looking at selling his 750s he's got on a few years in age had a few health issues
it was time to move it on man you don't you you don't waste time mate straight on to it
did a deal and I'm stoked to have been able to go down and get it and bring it home last night
Yeah a ripper mate it looks um like it's certainly done the use but he's done out back to us
but that's what they were for Dave. Yeah that's what they were about that's yeah it's straight
from the old Dakar replicas the styling but it's the same bikes they raced in Dakar in the late
80s 90s the big twins just built for massive big miles outback touring mode yeah yeah yeah I will
have to do an outback trip I might just to honour the heritage of the Super Tenere badge
mate you know that's what it's all about Super Tenere 750 twin cylinder mate yeah and this
is what Peta Hansel used to ride in the Dakar? It's exactly this one exactly exactly this yeah
um it's uh the big twins that's what they race my they modify they race four cylinder versions
of these the factory bikes and they were just little french little euro guys smaller than
me yet they raced them for for two weeks long the dunes are jack are made amazing just amazing
