I am looking to purchase a brand new or near new Tenere mid to late this year to replace the NX which is now 20 years old and still going great. Salina and I use it for touring of road with small road use.
I was wondering has anybody heard anything or know someone with one.
Thank you in advance

looks like something off transformers
not my cup of tea 
They look heaps better with the high front guard, I will be putting the Andy Strapz soft panniers I have on.
What else do you buy with ground clearance, rally style setup, single cylinder under 20k
Everything else is over 20k or years old

Looks the go TB,
I have been drooling over one of these since reading a few mag reviews, most recently in Trailzone where they did the Longset Day Out from the Coast to Cameron Corner in a day (1500ks) :blink:Apparently they are a treat to ride offroad & have plenty of stick, as well as comfort
I am hanging to win the Lotto now, then it will be a toss up between a Tenere & the BMW800 :unsure:

You are right about the guard,,,, Is that a simpe bolt it on higher job ???
And the overall style of the thing is Top Notch for the $14,000 tag too
Good Luck with the whole deal,,,,,ps, I would like to book a test ride when you get it
209kg single cylinder motorcycle Farrrrrrk, and thats not yet loaded with saddle bags and the like. I looked closely at the one at the bike show and to me it just looked cheap. The forks look like tooth picks and with all that weight have to flex real bad.
I like the look of the Tenere it’s just in the flesh it doesn’t look like it would last long.
For me i’d go the BMW F800GS. I know it’s cost more but if this is going to be a long term investment it will be worth it. 800cc parallel twin and a claimed 207kg full a fuel, vrooooom.
Ps, I bet the pillion seat is more comfy too, gotta look at the selling points for the little woman.
Then the next pick would be the KTM690R. At around 140Kg, even with Selena sitting on the KTM it will still be lighter the Tenere.
Top notch suspension (linkage
) and heaps of grunt. Yes it needs a big tank that may look ugly but let face it, adventure bikes are’t about looks. Once saddle bags are fitted they all look like shit.
