Considering a return

Hello folks - I've been away for a while and am considering a return to Tenere ownership.. How are you all?

After I sold my 59 plate Ten I've had a few different bikes, BMW GSA, Triumph Daytona 675R, KTM 990 Superduke R and now I just have the one bike my wonderful KTM1290 Superduke R.

I'm looking to get another thumper mainly for commuting and road work so I can keep my 1290 in track trim. My short list of bikes are:

XT 660 Z Tenere
Husqvarna 701 Enduro
KTM 690 Enduro R
KTM 690 Duke R

I hadn't really considered the other XT models until writing this, so perhaps they should also be here. Having owned a Ten before I know what a superb bike they are and the others are clearly more powerful which is the real weakness in my mind of the Ten. If only KTM would make a 690 Adventure.... There's a Yamaha dealer a mile away from the office and of course owning a KTM I have a good dealer an hour away that I know and trust.
The tank range of the Ten with its good manners would make it a practical day to day bike.
Whats the consensus now on general build quality with the new Ten's and are the Cush drive rubbers still made is soft cheese?


Thanks folks.

Mark
