I can only 2nd JMo's comments. I've ridden my Tenere 10 000 kms by now, and it's not vibey at all (but I'm used to Guzzis, mind you). Cruising at 80 mph/130 kmh all day long is not a problem. Did a couple of those days this summer. But I must admit it's on the twisty roads, with or without gravel, that the Tenere is in its ace.
Seat: I'm having mine redone. It's not a big problem with the standard seat - I just stood on the pegs once in a while to un-numb my butt. But I want another seat, perhaps a tad higher too.
Tank: Yamaha hasn't done any technical alterations to the 09-model compared to the 08. Also on the 08 Yamaha states 23 litres fuel capacity. I've seen several magazine reviews stating 22, but I think on this one I'll trust Yamaha.
So the core message here is: Get one!
