most of my riding will be around central london but fancied some light touring around ireland,wales and norfolk two up
the touring is a bit of a pipe dream as i am not sure the missus is up for it although i will go it alone if necessary
in the main its going to be a bit of a toy really but its still a hard decision so alll advice would be gratefully recieved
thanks

Riding around central London +1 for Tenere;
Touring two up +1 for KTM;
If you are looking for more power +1 KTM;
If you are looking for some light off/green lanes +1 for Tenere (however depends on your riding skills);
If you are looking for reliability +1 for Tenere (this is based on my and my mates opinion having both bikes);
Servicing cost....I dont know - Tenere is pretty straight forward to work on so you can do few things yourself, cant tell about KTM,
