Looks good Greg. Enjoyed your comments for the Tenere.
What's your thoughts on the tubed tires?
In my recent deer hit and totaled S10 I narrowed the new bike down to the S10 ES and the AT. The price definitely came down on the AT side but the ES add-ons kept the S10 in the game. Finally it came down to tubed tires. I absolutely hate changing my dirtbike in the field. With the S10 I carry a pump and have always been able to plug (even a side wall tear) enough to get me to home or help.
tubed tires suuuuuck! I don't use tubes on my 2 stroke. Outex kit is the anwser (tubless conversion)
The AT is a proper 70/30 off/on road bike. It shines the shittier it gets. I had 90k km of super good times on the ST, but with spending more time in the tricker stuff, I went to the AT.
The difference in weight, pushing it around is huge, even to get it on my handy lift, half way up the ramp, you can stop it, and push it up. With the ST...no way!
