Wow, super tenere and the new Triumph. That's good news for the ADV market!
I wonder if the Triumph is US bound?
It looks like they changed the look of the tenere :-\
We shall see if all the folks who said they would buy one if Yammy brought it over really will.
I'll start saving now for a used one ;D
WOW! The Tenere is even heavier than a nine-fiddy! 575lbs vs. 440lbs. I wouldn't want to wrestle that around off-road. Plus, it just looks like a V-Strom to me. :-\ And at almost $14K, a bit overpriced.
That's a huge weight difference! Plus, the KTM might be cooler....
I think it looks more offroad-ish than the strom, longer suspenders, more ground clearance, spoked wheels, but man that is FAT.
I check a thread on ADV and several of those guys put their $ down the first day possible. I bet it sells OK.
I think the Triumph will be more interesting though.
A 950 is only 440 lbs. :o
