I though you needed the key to take the Tenere what happened to the Imobaliser. There has been some talk about Red key? ...
Anyway what has been said is true, but if you have had one then you will know most of this already. Like most bikes it is a compromise between what you want and what they deliver.
But think about what you want it for.
Its not an Enduro bike - Too heavy, if you want to do a lot of off road go for something built for it there are plenty to choose from. (WR250)
It can be used for touring but again there are better options but you will pay more. (FJR)
It can be hussled in the lanes Scottish A & B roads, but again there are better options (Fazer 6 or thou)
Your Honda NC700X should be as good at commuting, but I can get 78mpg out of my Tenere (Just don't ride it with spirit). It will give you a better view over the cars. Servicing every 6k not too bad, and can be done youself. I am on my second set of rear pads but still the original fronts with 33.5k on it now.
For me I like the way it looks and the way it rides.
What I dont like, the wind buffeting through the fork legs (Many topices on here) and like all bikes the lights in the dark are rubbish. There are a wee bit vibes through the pegs and bars.
Hey ho you pays your money you makes your choice.
Tell us more about your Honda.
