June 4, 2010 at 7:57 am #180925Hi TB
what are your first impessions of the weight or the tenere?
Is it low cog? I have been looking at a bike for a cross oz trip in 2 years time and the yami is on the short list I was just concerned that after fully loaded she might be a bit over- weight!June 4, 2010 at 8:32 am #180967I dont know yet first impressions you dont feel its weight at all it feels nicely balanced but wait until I off road it tomorrow.
Your statement “I was just concerned that after fully loaded she might be a bit over- weight!” makes be laugh re-read that anything fully loaded for across Aus will be over weight, it will be how it carries its weight

I can pack for you if you want mate. That should keep the weight down. Before I go shopping though how many nights will you be gone so I know how many fully loaded cans you will need. :laugh:
