So it is lighter slightly liter with the same amount of fuel.
And the std XT 250 is even 14 kg lighter.

Yes, 286 cc has to be better than 249 cc
350 cc has to better than 300 cc
400 even better. Or the old 500.
But there was a 600. But 660 has to be better than 600.
And the new 700 cc better than 660 cc
But wait. There is a 1200 cc. It has to be the best.
If they just could increase the bore to give 1250 cc.
As the largest BMW GS

Its 153 kilos versus 144 - so not just a couple. Anyhow - its not the weight that is the weakest spot on the 250 Tenere imo. Its the engine that has only 20 or 21 HP (depending on where you read) and the fact that it has only 5 speed gearbox.
We all know what the most negative characteristics of a 250 cc are - and that is the limited power and also the power to weight ratio. And in the 250 class the 250 Tenere is the heaviest bike and with the least powerful engine.
Yes - I have ridden one and it felt significantly heavier and slower than my Crf.
Except from that Im sure its an ok bike for what it is....
