Just picked up a leftover 2012 Black Tenere. I sold my Gold Wing and made the jump to the Tenere. I've been looking at GS's and Triumph Explorer's but after doing much reading on this forum and reviews in the magazines I decided on the Tenere. After my inaugural ride today, it was definitely the right decision. Even though I'm still in the break in period, I couldn't believe how well this bike runs and handles. I've had my fair share of motorcycles over the past 30 years and I have to admit, this one's up there for handling and power, it just keeps pulling.
I put 375 miles on it today over an 8 hour ride, and was totally impressed. Even the seat was fairly comfortable. This is going to make a great rally bike.
