Wink Hi folks from a Stockport newbie

I,ve been thinking about the XTZ for a while now. Really like the sounds of how the bike performs in all areas and of course the looks.
The seat height is the biggest bugbear for me, got a gammy leg that don't like going that high. Hopefully a bit of physio will conquer that.
I like the apparent simplicity of the bike and the amount of tweaking and customising that can be done.
Got a Speed Triple and the moment and the world just flashes by. Decided I want to slow down and see more, do some touring and get off the beaten track, maybe not full off road,,,,yet?
Anyway the XTZ sounds perfect.
I shall be reading your threads and picking one or two brains to convince me the XTZ is the right choice.

Just take a test ride on a Tenere and you'll be convinced!

The XTs are great fun and simple and not the end of the world if they do fall over....

Hi Gary, thanks for the welcome. I noticed that you have had a F800GS, that was another bike I was considering. How would you compare the GS with the XTZ?
