Actually I am going more to a street only bike I am thinking Super Duke or MT-10 .. I am not comfortable off road any longer and that is what this bike is made for .. I am glad I had this as well as the S10 I once had but I think my ”adventures” from this point forward will be on country roads ..LoL ..

I refer to myself as a pavement princess. I knew going in that I wasn't going to making any great treks on unpaved roads. (mainly because I don't have any cool dirt roads to ride). But, I did want the "ruggedness", and seating position that these bikes have. We have paved roads that beat the crap out bikes. My son with the FJR refuses to use them. The Tenere doesn't even flinch. My next set of tires, that are on order, are full street tires. I'm gonna see how well they perform, and last.

I guess my point is, if you love the bike, don't sell it. Just put new shoes on her. You might find that you don't need the new bike.

Sierra1 , You are dead on . I do love the seating position and performance of this bike and am seriously thinking about building a 19” front wheel and going to a less aggressive tire such as Anakee adv. etc. but before I do that I thought I would test the sale market . Let the bike go to the type of person who will use it for what it was intended.

That's a great sale price. I agree with Sierra1 change the tires and try that for a while. It's amazing what a difference that can make. I actually have my eye on the new 2022 SAS version.

. . . . am seriously thinking about building a 19” front wheel . . . .

That would be much less expensive than a new bike.

Nice looking bike. I've got those same CRG mirrors on the bar ends of my Super Tenere, love 'em.

GLWS.

I'm running Michelin Road 5 Trails. Excellent pure road tire, no idea why they tacked trail onto the name.
