They need to tell these magazines that the Tenere can't read, it just does what it is asked to do and does it well. Only problem I have with mine is my inseam is 30 in. and sometimes I just feel too short, but once underway, all is well. I looked at the bigger picture before purchasing and that was reliability and maintenance costs, here the Tenere beats them all. Add to that the great deal I got on a new 2012 and it just beat them all. I was looking at a used Ducati Multistrada, but I thought, how many Ducati dealerships do I ride by, answer none in my state at all. This bike is comfortable and has way less felt heat than my 750 Nighthawk had, and that means a lot in the south on a summer day. I have just about gave up on T mode, as I hardly notice the off idle stumble in S mode.
