Yamaha Tenere: overlooked bike? Or just not available?
"Which one?" you may ask.
Well, with the renewed focus on viable bikes to RTW-ify, most of us are thinking about the 700.
However, I found reference to a new-to-me bike that seems good also.
The XTZ 250 Tenere.
It has very similar specs to the Honda CRF250 Rally, but a tank that is 60% larger at 16 litres and a comfort-leaning seat and 151kg, wet.
Sounds like a viable choice for those who see the logic in the CRF.
The only thing I'm not clear on is European availability.
Anyone had any experience in these? I'd be curious to hear about them.
