Same story for me. Had an 09 Road King Classic, and a 12 Ultra classic. Bought the Tenere and kept the ultra classic for a year. After the year sold the Harley. I recommend making the jump from cruising to adventure motorcycling. A world of difference. Just raising the Tenere up off the side...

Re: Texas Hill Country Super Tenere Rally - Spring - March 21 - 23, 2014 Just saw this event. I am so bummed. I will be riding in the hill country the week of March 10th, and back home by the 20th. Taking the Tenere with me to a week long cycling event " Texas Hell Week". Its an annual event...

I say buy the Tenere, and keep the Tiger. I just this winter purchased a used Tiger and love it. I found a 2011 with only 635 miles on craigslist, flew out to see the bike, and rode it home. My 2012 Tenere is covered with luggage, and it is my long haul bike. Tiger is great for shorter trips...

That is a great looking jacket. This December I purchased a barely used Triumph Tiger 800 roadie as a second bike. That jacket would make a nice addition to my collection. We have a dealership here in Kansas City. I may have to have a look. Thanks for posting.

Have to thank you all for all the advise. I actually did the same thing as Dirt Dad. I joined AMA, after reading all the info on their site. They do a lot for motorcycling, but their plan lacks a bit on towing, so I signed on with AAA and included the RV coverage to CMA. The 100 mile tows plus...

Welcome Nitzo, you will live this site, and your new Tenere. I am a new Tenere owner (about 400 miles now), and a former 04 GS owner. The bike is awesome, and the forum is unbelievably helpful. No stone unturned here. Have fun test riding!

Now we are getiing somewhere!!!

Do any of you have a roadside assistance policy to help with towing? I searched the forum, and found only a few mentions. If so who would you recommend? I did add the YES extended warranty to my recent Tenere purchase, but it only reimburses $50.00 dollars towards towing to the nearest Yamaha...

Installed my new Givi treker 52 top case on the SW Motech top case rack. Iit fits and looks great. It matches the Givi Treker 33's I have for side cases.

I had mine set up in the top range and had no problems, except it still was pretty windy, so I up graded to a Cee Bailey's Wind screen with wind wings, and now its cool, and calm in the cock pit.

::004:: From Kansas City. I just purchased my Tenere a couple weeks ago. Similar deal. Life is good. I also cycle, and have riden in your area. I have friends that cycle from Spartanburg SC. I rode the Assualt on Mt. Mitchell with them a few years back. Say hello on your trip to Alaska.

Hey Oldude, When you get back home send me a note. I also live in Kansas City and just got my Tenere a month ago. Still boltiing on accessories, and squeezing in rides when the temps are above 40 ish. I moto and bicycle the Hill Country but usually the second week of March. I recommend you stop...

The bike is a 2012 and its blue. I will put up some pics when I have my cases and trunk mounted. Researching on line now for which cases to get. I also want to add an engine guard, and taller wind screen. I'm going to have to pick up a metric measuring tape so I can see just what size some of...

Hello everyone. Just closed the deal on the new Tenere. Pick up Saturday. Was looking at several bikes, Versys, and Vstrom. One test ride, and I knew which one it had to be. Been pouring over posts on accessories. Lots of helpful info here. Thanks for all your input. Former GS rider, then went...
