Ok, so I got to take a new Tenere out for a short ride and here is what I found in no particular order. With the seat in the high position, and me scooting back on to the wider part of the seat, I am quite comfortable. That is great for riding around but when I came to a stop, even with my long legs, it's an odd stretch to the ground since the seat is quite wide there. It's really a non issue, just an observation and easily fixed by having the habit of sliding forward just a bit when coming to a stop. I was shocked at how well the little fairing managed wind, no buffeting and no back pressure at any speed I went (up to about 75mph) Coming from my FJR it's obviously low on power but, I never felt like there wasn't more than enough. Maybe it's me but you either have to sit up on the seat or back all the way, otherwise there is a slant that is odd in the middle? Love the throttle, especially when compared to my '07 FJR which has way to much of an on/off feel to it, very smooth. Would need a larger brake pedal, I missed the tiny excuse for a pedal a couple times.
All that being said, no bike is 100% perfect and we make adjustments to get them just right for us, I want it!
