I’ve taken a XT660Z Tenere in as trade in and unsure what it’s worth as a private sale.

I’ve looked through the usual places and nothing really comparable. Hoping the knowledgable people of BB can offer a bit of guidance.

59 plate , blue , very clean bike actually, has new tyres and front pads. 30k miles. Comes with sw motech Dakar luggage . Has been serviced by the man so no actual history. Has MOTs to back up mileage and has current test until Nov.

This isn’t a advert I need to point out I’ve just not really got a idea where to pitch it. All bikes advertised are far newer or less miles. I was thinking around £3k?

Very interested as I have one of same age but half the mileage that I need to put up for sale soon.

They're quite difficult bikes to value, but I'd say between £3000 and £3500. Popularity with these is high, as they are actually quite rare.

Thanks for response.

Just to clarify you mean mine could be 3-3.5? Or yours?

Yours is for sure worth that easy from my limited research. Mine is harder to value.

I don't think £3k is unreasonable for one of them although I will admit to knowing very little about them.

Yours probably £3000-£3200.

As you've found out they're very hard to put a value on! All the magazines, MCN, website buyers guides say you should be able to find one for £2700+ but it's complete rubbish, they seem to hold their value exceptionally well. The 2009s would only have been about £6000 new!

I managed to pick up my good condition one for £3100 with some hard haggling, both of my friends paid nearer £4000 for theirs.

Thanks for the info. £3200 would be great if that’s achievable. Going to give it a good clean and stick it up over weekend. Would the luggage be worth removing or does it add value to the bike. Seems to be £340 new and looks pretty much predict the ones I have.

Well it’s has the book stamped for first 3 years and then nothing since. He serviced himself and had a local garage do it sometimes.

I’d guess most people looking st this age and mileage of bike wouldn’t be too bothered. It’d be a different story trying to sell my panigale with no history.

It’s quite a hard bike to value due to a few factors this being one for sure.

I wouldn't worry too much about the lack of history to be honest. When I was looking there was one that had had a new engine and new clocks, mileage was indeterminate although apparently 17,000. That went for nearly £2800 and I would argue that yours is significantly better than that. As you said, no one would touch a panigale with no history and rightly so, but these I reckon someone would take a punt on as long as you stated it had been owner-serviced.

I'd leave the luggage on. These aren't bought by posers or people obsessed with condition (myself excluded 😂) and most of them are either used for commuting or light touring/ off-roading and luggage will make it easier to sell.

Get it up on the 660 Tenere Facebook group as well, it's pretty active and there are regularly people looking to buy one on there asking questions etc.

Bike actually cleaned up lovely. Went with 3295 in the end and had a fair amount of interest so far so some good advice. Thanks mate.

Just to finish the thread off. Got £2800 via classified ad on eBay. But at that I kept the luggage to sell which will fetch a small amount too.
