After selling my KTM 300 and saving my butt off I got the bike of my dreams. The Super Tenere. Little did I know that it's purpose would not be what I bought it for. After having a good taste of the off road capability of it and the cost to repair small tip over damage I'm done with using it that way. Good news is I had a "plan B" and I'm still going to enjoy this bike for it's intended purpose of nice paved rides and long day miles of travel.
Here is the reality of a true adventure bike for me. It's my Beta. I can do an easy 300 mile day without being beat up and it will go places that the Super Tenere cannot even dream of. It's plated and I have it both configured for 100+ miles between fuel and can set it up for 200+ miles between fuel stops. This bike will do everything from nasty single track to a comfortable 75mph pavement. It has a much more broad range of capability than the Super Tenere.
I realized just how capable this bike was when I got my Iron Butt on it. Put the stock tank on and you have a very lightweight single track machine. So here it is reconfigured into an adventure bike I can ride out of my driveway and out to the desert or mountains and hit any trail I desire without the fear of turn around because it can't handle the terrain:
