I have recently been sucked in by the appeal of the Super Tenere... I am in search of an Adv Bike. So far I have fallen in love with the Tiger Explorer 1200, BUT it is too expensive for my blood. I then sat on a VStrom 1000 and just thought it had a "cheap" feel to it ( I was unable to test ride the Strom due to weather), $13,999 with bags and such. Then, by accident I stumble into another local dealer and saw 2 2014 Teneres, one being the ES. The ES is priced at $12,499 and the base was less than that. I couldn't believe the quality of the bike with all the standard features!!! This dealer does not normally allow test rides but I am working on that. I have also found a 2013 new for $9,999 ??? I really want cruise control for longer rides and comfort, I am 6'3" and 240lbs with some disc issues, that currently rides a 2014 Thruxton ::025::
If anyone has experience on any of these bikes to compare to the Tenere, I would greatly appreciate your input.
It's been years since I have been on forums, is this a hijack or, should I have started a different thread?? Sorry
