Thank you ta-rider, i assume you are not referring to Super Tenere ... since it's pretty much the same "look" as beemer.
I don't own Africa Twin or any other bikes, that would mean buying another bike and reacquainting myself with for long journeys.
I guess i can see your point, i just don't know how to get around thousands of miles in reasonable comfort on BMW vs small tenere... rode that and didn't really like it at all from many perspectives like chain drive to begin with.
thank you for sharing though, i appreciate it.
i wonder if other riders feel the same or along the same lines.
p.s.
not that it matters, my bike is NOT new liquid cooled or anything  but it isn't 10y old LR either obviously.
