Just signed up and am hoping to learn more about the Tenere. I know it's been in Europe for a year or two with good success. I'm planning a round the US trip in 2011, about 9,000 miles. Right now I think the Tenere may be the bike for the trip. I just can't bring myself to order the bike sight unseen so I'll have to wait for the M/C in NYC this January. Anyone with any experience that they would care to share would be appreciated.
