I'm also enthusiastic about the Tenere but I'd strongly advise you to test ride before buying, especially if you don't have experience of big singles.

I was fortunate to borrow one for a few miles in Morocco and liked it, however it's clearly not everyone's cup of tea—the bike I ended up getting was only three months old and was already on its second owner.
