Hi
I have been watching this site for a few months to get a feel for the Tenere, I had a test ride a couple of weeks ago and liked the ride.
Having looked at the other options I think my choice will be between the BMW and the Yamaha, now here is my problem here in the UK the Yamaha is expensive and in low demand therefore I have to assume that the resale value will take a big hit. I know that in other parts of the world the BMW is way more expensive than the Yamaha however here in the UK I could buy the new water cooled BM for only about £400 more than the list price for the Yamaha.
On the basis of the above I cannot get my head around choosing the Yamaha over the BM unless I can get a considerable discount on the Tenere. Here is the question would you as Tenere owners have chosen the Yamaha if the BMW had been priced the same. Just interested in how people view this.
Regards
Mike
