I wish we could have the baby Tenere in the US. I'm about to sell my Hayabusa and I really want a thumper. I just hope Yamaha brings it before I buy a Husky.

I asked quite a few questions about the husky at the show. Feels right (21", 18" wheel combo)
But reading BIKE uk, they interview the president of KTM, as the new owners of Husky, they will take the brand back to off road 2 strokes, and eliminate the road line.
Makes you wonder about parts, and dealer support...
It is a bmw engine after all, with a husky head.

the little tenere would be a better bike, prob. a bit down on power from the husky, but more reliable, and proven.
I highly doubt they would bring one here though

What I don't ant is a Beemer. Maybe I should just hold out and buy a Monster 1100. The Ducati dealer close to me are such a bunch of 455h0135 though. They are also a Yamaha dealer. I was going to bring them my S10 for service. I talked to the service manager for 5min and walked back out.
