New Tenere today!!
Just rode my new Tenere for the first time today...fab!! It was a tentative start, we had just had a mighty downpour of sleet rain and the Tourance tyres were brand new. I had based buying the bike on the reviews on this site, talking to owners etc. I have had big sports bikes, then a Honda XR650R which I love. I have travelled all over Ireland on the XR, but just yearned for a big single, of the Adventure travel type but one that had a few more luxuries, ie electric start, a battery, a key even. It still needed to be a simple roughly tufty kind of bike and the Tenere seemed just the job. With just 20 miles done I'm already thinking I made a good choice!! Great forum , thanks

 Welcome to the forum mate.
Glad you like your Ten - good choice. I bought mine new back in 2008 without having even seen one in the flesh, never mind reading reviews (there weren't any) or having a test ride. Thing is, I've still got it now, nearly seven years later - longest I've ever kept a new bike by some margin. So there must be something about them!

Enjoy your new ride mate. I thought about an XR650R a while back but because of an old Knee injury I was worried about 'kickbacks' , an electric start would have been perfect.
Very happy with my Ten too. If yours is a brand newie it would be interesting to know if you also have a sticky pad inside the frame where the injector wire is. I'll be posting a pic of where to poke your finger to be able to tell later when I get home under 'Prentative Maintainence' (you don't need to take the frame off to find it !) Cheers |

Oh yes very good choice! The bike will give you years of joy. No doubt. Bulletproof, rugged, friendly, powerful, adventurous yet low maintainance, the XT660Z T�n�r� is the bike best suited for alround adventure riding. Or just to look at :-P. Youre one of us now. Enjoy and share some pics.
