@Couchy had one ( quelle surprise I hear you say
So does anyone have any experience of the Tenere 700? 
)- dunno if he ever ventured offroad on it, but I do know he got his man to make an exhaust for it so he must have had it at least 24 hours

Nah. My enduro bike is 105 Kgswesters151 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 7:46 pmThere's an element of all the safety gubbins and pollution stuff, however I'm convinced bikes are heavier because people have become heavier; two heavier people on a bike means beefier build, and two heavier people with luggage = even beefier build.Yorick wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 5:18 pmIf they can build a 200 bhp sports machine weighing about 200 Kgs. Why can't they make a sensible weight big traily?mangocrazy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 5:12 pm
Jesus H Christ on a motorcycle.
But not that one.
257kg for an off-road bike? Are they out of their minds?
The last thing manufacturers want is some Jabba the Hut complaining on social media that the bike broke under him/her.
I'm 95 Kgs and I jump and crash it all the time.
These bikes are tough and light.

I can almost see that ZX10 bending in the middle. It's not often I feel sorry for a bike...

Re: Tenere
Yup had one, took it off road and on a track day. It was a bit meh and cheaply made. Engine gutless too. An 800GS is better on and off road. The tenere is a well marketed but cheaply built bike, there’s much better bikes, hugely disappointing
