4 years, 50K miles on the S10......purchased because of the reliability; fulfilled the want/need. I will never bad-mouth her, we shared a lot of good times. Eventually got bored and wanted some spice......hence the orange bike.
Well generally strippers are detached, not looking for intimacy and companionship and are there just for the money...LOL!
I get it, I'm coming off a z900rs and I've built all sorts of crazy machines that were very exciting. I wanted boring now.
Yup, sounds like a Beemer.
So the Triumph is listed on CycleTrader, Craigslist, and ADV for $19k.
Rode it to the local Harley/Ducati dealer just out of curiosity to see what they had for sale or trade and I wanted to sit on a couple of Multistradas for feel. The Stradas were nice but not right. They have a 2017 Midnight Blue Super Tenere with only 3,500 miles so while not seriously thinking to buy it, I asked what it would take to make a deal because I was curious what they'd give for the Triumph. The initial answer was a straight swap and I pay $400 for inspection and tax. While waiting for the sales guy to talk to his manager I looked on their website and that bike is listed for $10,435. After I walked out and hopped on the Triumph the sales guy come out to say his manager would waive the $400. With taxes and such I figure they were really offering a bit over $12,000 for mine.
LOL
Anyway, their Tenere is like new, really is that low in miles, and for the price looks like possibly a good purchase for somebody else here.

Absolutely. I'll ride anything to see what it's like. Don't figure I'll find anything I like better than my Tenere. (of course, that's what I said about my now neglected FJ . . . . until I got my Tenere)
Fast becoming the only
Not enough power. I sat on a couple. At 6’3”. I was a little cramped
Take it out for a ride, more info is better. That way you can decide if YOU like it, not based on hearsay.
Chatted recently with a long-time ADV'er (mostly BMW) that bought one of these when they came out.....been nothing but trouble for him (TPI sensor puked, months to get parts, many other teething pains). Maybe they're better now?
Speaking of the AT. I saw a video on a show today. It's an AT, in a dealership. The front tire is in a wheel chock. The back tire is on a ramp of some sort. A customer turns the key on and hits the starter button. The motor starts, revs, and the ramp is pushed out from under the back tire. How did this happen? Every bike that I've had will not start in gear without the clutch pulled in.
I'm bettin' that your next ride is just as big.
