getting the 2015 xt660z tenere...
Well, I was debating between new Africa Twin and F800GS as you can see few posts below but in the end I have ordered the old good small tenere, non ABS version. Africa is too heavy for my type of riding and F800GS too complicated to be 100% reliable in the desert. Both bikes also are too expensive for throwing around in dirt.
I hope it's not mistake as xt660z is quite old in technology used but maybe this is her charm and its advantage. Probably soon in Europe it will not be available with no ABS, even today I had some trouble to get one. The tenere is really good looking bike IMO, probably as good as new Africa and it has checked all the boxes: reliable, simple, good tank range, good suspension and ground clearance, crash resistant, comfortable. Anybody here got or is going to get new xt660z as well?
