New Tenere 700

[marko67]

I've been looking forward to this for awhile, the result of a TDM and an XT 660 parked to close together one dark night.

 

I won't be touring in the foreseeable future, rarely do I ride more than 500km's in a day, and the amount of gravel I ride is still increasing as is my ability. The poor TDM is taking a hammering. Damned scary crossed up over bumps and ridges, too. I don't need more horsepowers!

 

Big bore singles no longer float my boat, I've gone vintage 2t instead, 1000cc Adventure bike is an oxymoron, and the Euro offerings in the middle capacity class still have an air of fickleness about them.

 

Hopefully Yamaha have got the mix right with this bike and the weight is worth it.... Get it?
