Unless they are giving a very good discount on the Yamaha handguards (as you're buying the bike from them) I would probably suggest holding fire and looking at the alternatives, Barkbusters for example, as they are cheaper and offer much better weather protection (especially with Storm plastics). There's nothing wrong with the Yamaha ones, can't fault them for crash/drop protection, I had them for four years (there was nothing else available back in 2008). Changed to Barkbusters in the autumn, and with the benefit of hindsight, I wish I'd had them from the outset (or rather my hands do!)

If your heart's set on Yamaha ones, I know a nice chap who's got a used pair with deflectors at a very reasonable discounted price!

Enjoy your new Tenere!
