Why not ?

Depends on what you wants it to do ...

I bought one as a good compromise on a budget (vehicle taxes are horrible in Denmark. The price of a new one is 13000�/20000$ and i saved quite a bit by finding a 2 year old that has only done 1600km.

I would have likes an extra piston and 50% more power but like that it is lighter and easier to handle than my old 750. But since it is an ABS version it has also a lot less ground clearance, but i don't do much real offroad i will probably not be a problem. I prefer "greenlaning" over mudholes anyhow :-)

A new tenere will do almost anything your old one could with the comfort of an electric starter :-)
