Soon to be XT660Z Tenere owner here. Currently riding a BMW GS 1200 Adventure (and a Bonneville Scrambler and a Beta Rev 3), but moving back down to a sensible sized bike!

The BMW is fantastic, but having spent 4 days riding the old military roads on the Italian / French border last year, and living in an area with abundant 4x4 tracks (French alps) I've decided the BMW is just too big, too heavy and too valuable for that caper and that the XT660Z is what I'll get instead.

Had a test ride and liked it and am off on a guided trip to Morocco early May where I will spend 5 days on a Tenere. Unless I hate it, I'll come back and make a purchase, probably from the UK. I'm keeping an eye on the For Sale section of this forum now. A nicely sorted 2009/10 bike with luggage and some performance mods would be ideal.

This is a great site and I've already learned loads about the bikes from reading through various threads. Who wants a beer?
