Smile Tenere

Hello from Italy!
I'm a fairly new T�n�r� owner (XT660Z) and I'm all for adventure, so I'm really in love with this bike! I want to know more of it and address some details which could be improved. Of course I'm also here to share some enthusiasm for those great bikes!
Gotta love the Ten!

Happy riding to all the fellow bikers in here, whatever they ride and however they do it!

Welcome on board mate.

Nice bike and or course, even better it's in the best colour. I notice you have fitted the black tank protection panels and seat from a later bike too, which very smart.

Hi! I bought he bike used (third owner) and the crash plates were already that way, they are painted black, not originally black. I am considering re-covering them in black since after a couple of falls (while stopped) the show cracks in the paint surface, but hey, the bike's gonna fall again, so why bother? ;-) The seat also came that way, it is the one of the "easy ride" optional kit which lowers the bike a bit. I'm happy I found the bike already lowered, that saved me some money.

Never realised there different seat options on the Ten!!

Maybe I was asleep when someone mentioned it before

Probably just lowered with shorter dogbones in the suspension and maybe lowered front forks 1-2cm in the clamps ?

Where did that Seat come from? I literally took out the hacksaw to mine this week and it doesn't look so good.

I got it with the bike, which I bought used (I'm the third owner), but I will ask the previous owner about it.

By the way those photos are really good. Really captured that autumn feel.
