What would be a good purchase price for a new 2018 Non-ES Tenere considering it's now 2yrs. Old. ? I seen a new 2019 which is an ES model for $13,500 OTD.

The color is Ceramic Ice.What is the color of the 2019, primer grey? I'd have to put a wrap on the tank, maybe match the blue wheels, it is fuggly.
I agree totally, IF you have a good dealer. Sadly, I've not had a good local dealer for a long time. I used to drop my bike off and take 5 buses across town to get home. Lately I've been riding 350 miles to a rocking dealer with outstanding techs that are Yamaha 5 star trained/certified and KNOW their shit. I get a hotel room the night before, drop the bike off the moment they open and they get it done for me by noonish so my late check out at the hotel across the parking lot, plus a leisurely lunch, usually does the trick for a valve adjustment. And I'm good with that over the local dealer because they charge $20 less an hour, document EVERYTHING in Yamaha's system and do a great job.I'd give some thought to where you will have to take it for service/ warranty issues. I could have saved some if I'd have driven a ways, but our dealer offers MSF classes, the shop guys are always willing to give me some hints about service. They have been there a long time, and now they recognize me every time I walk in. And my money stays in the area. It isn't always about saving the last buck.
I tend to agree. However, I just purchased a 2018 ES from a dealer 500 miles away for $700 less than than the dealer an hour away wanted for the 2018 non-ES. I gave him a shot at his best OTD price, but at least I gave him a shot.I'd give some thought to where you will have to take it for service/ warranty issues.

I did the same looking for a long time and waiting. I ended up finding a 2018 ES with 17k miles for $10,250 OTD and had a bunch of upgrades on it. With that few of miles it is still a baby. They are out there and patience sux but worth it. You’ll find the one you like!Thanks for the generous offer to pick up my bike and deliver it , Thanks buddy.
I agree not over $12k for the 2018 Non-ES, dealers asking more. I was told today the $1k customer cash offer ended 12/31/19. Think the 2019 ES model would be the better deal at this point.

Same here, local dealers usually didn't have a Tenere and if they did wanted MSRP for it so I kept looking until I found what I was looking for. Ended up with a used 2018 ES with bags, crash bars, first service completed, and only 1000 miles on it. Seller only lived 170 miles away from me. Waiting was the pits but I think it was worth it in the end by getting what I was looking for.I did the same looking for a long time and waiting.
