Wow, super tenere and the new Triumph.  That's good news for the ADV market!

I wonder if the Triumph is US bound?

[plumber mike]

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

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....

[Hank]

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.

DRY weight.
