Let's see those bikes

Bike shop boss had one for a long time. He loved it. Modified it to suit him and wife, they used it a good bit then just a year or so ago he sold it to move on to something much lighter.
Sorry, that probably didn’t help.

 

I don't have one and it depends what you're gonna use it for.

Tenere700 fire hazard

 

Ya, my KLX ran stupid hot when I first got it. Some dollars and different parts has that fixed now. Who knew that in order for a single cylinder to meet emmissions standards it would have to be tuned to run poorly? lol

 

Heck that started clear back in the 90's!
You'd have been surprised how many brand new machines had to have the "anti tamper" stuff on the carb removed just so that it could be tuned to run well enough that the customer would sign for/accept his brand new bike/quad/etc!

 

Got another Tennessee trip in last week.

 

I had a big gap in terms of buying off road machines. Bought a new quad back in 2002. Almost 20 years passed until I bought another new dirt machine. I failed to take temperature measurements at the header on the KLX pre & post mods but my right leg says it's easily 50 degrees cooler. Did buy a road motorcycle in 2012 and didn't notice hot running...but went ahead and put less restrictive mufflers and a new tune to it. I do consider the Tenere to be a dirt machine moreso than a road bike...which is a good bit of the appeal for me. The street scooter will have to go in order to make room for the Tenere. I've cooled slightly, but some of these dealers are offering extremely attractive pricing on top of buyer incentives.

 

Windrock? Wanted to go there back when I was semi-active with truck 'froadin.

 

You got it. Not many places this side of the Mississippi much better.

 

I got to run at Tellico before they shut it. Best feather in my off road hat.
