Hello Everyone:
Mark here, from Albuquerque, NM. I have been riding for 38 years. I currently ride a 2008 KLR, which I have farkled to within an inch of its life. Once I got the KLR, I really got the dual sport bug, and spend as much time as I can exploring the dirt roads of New Mexico, be they forest or desert. Street riding bores me now. Street riding is the necessary evil required to get to the dirt.
I have gotten a little tired of the constant maintenance and tinkering required by the KLR, as well as its relative fragility, and am contemplating getting rid of the KLR and my Road Star and getting a Super Tenere.
I have some concerns about making the move, because the Super T is about 140 pounds heavier than my KLR. I ride forest roads of all conditions, and would likely equip a Super T with my favorite dual sport tires, Heidenau Scouts. Do you think the Super T is up for this kind of duty?
Thanks for your input!
