She is mine !!!!!
 
Hi All,

Just to let you all know that my R1 went the other day and I pick up my 2011 All black XT660z Tenere on Saturday.

I can't wait, she's only got 4K on the clock and is in showroom condition.

Glad to be part of the clan.....

Watch this space I will be asking a million and 1 questions no doubt....

EXCITED ? OOOHHHHHHH YEAH !!!

:newspaper:

Question number 1, what is the best most knobbly 50/50 tyre you put on the bike ?

I need it to perform off road as well as on road. I was looking at the K60 scouts ?

Good to see you got yourself sorted with an XTZ! :yahoo:

IMHO Continental TKC80s were made for the Tenere.

However, there are lots of decent options out there and everyone has their own opinion on tyres...

Agreed. Not the cheapest option, but great tarmac behavior, and good off-tarmac performance too.

Incidentally, I've put Cont Trail Attack 2 on my Tiger and they are top notch too.

Welcome to the fold Gibbo, lets hope that power drop isn't too much to bare (but the comfort should make up for it!).

Welcome to the forum. +1 for TKC's. I am fitting a new set today in fact. I normally get 3000'ish miles from the rear (more if just tarmac use after that point) and up to 7000 from the front but normally change at 6K when I do the rear for the second time. Have tried other tyres like most people and always reading reviews but always return to TKC's. They work for me and my riding. �156 the pair is ok as well.

You will find this forum very helpful. Enjoy.
