No, not to replace the Tenere. But as a DR650 replacement, I'm finding it really attractive. Quick shift, slipper clutch, on and off road ABS, TFT, traction control, bluetooth, crash bars, 12v outlet, adjustable windscreen, and adjustable suspension. It's an amazing amount of features for a bike priced at $6200.
The videos show it tackling the kind of terrain I'm most likely to encounter (except sand), and doing it with much more composure than my couch like suspension on the DR. I'm definitely interested.

Reviews show there is room for a better foot peg setup, but you have to think the aftermarket will take care of that pretty quickly.
The GM from Romney, my Tenere dealer since day one, has moved on to a KTM dealer just a few minutes from my house. So I'm confident I'll get a chance to check it out when all the virus crap is over.
Who knows, I may just be ready for an entry level bike.
