Gauloises-inspired livery as raced by Team Sonauto Yamaha in the Paris-Dakar
Described by the vendor as a preserved example showing 35,000 km
Detailed record of work carried out over the years
Reported to hold certified historic vehicle attestation granting tax exemption
The Appeal
The Yamaha Ténéré XT 600Z holds a revered place in motorcycling history. Born from Yamaha's success in the Paris-Dakar rally, the XT 600Z brought genuine desert-crossing capability to the showroom floor. This 1986 example wears the deeply evocative Gauloises livery of deep blue and bright yellow, inspired by the Team Sonauto Yamaha machines that debuted at the Paris-Dakar in 1984 - widely regarded as one of the most desirable colour schemes for the model.
Offered by Biga Garage, this Ténéré is described as a preserved machine showing 35,000 km on the odometer. The vendor notes visible signs of age consistent with a motorcycle that has been used rather than neglected. We're told that it boasts certified historic vehicle attestation granting tax exemption, and comes accompanied by a detailed record of work carried out over the years along with regular inspections.1.JPG3.42 MB
