I initially discounted the Tenere as the suspension seemed quite limited at only 210/200 mm travel. The reviews seemed to confirm that the suspension left little to be desired. But this bike does look great and comes with a 23 litre tank...
The weight of this bike was also a little worrisome as its curb-weight less fuel is only 4kg lighter than the 800GS ??? what gives, this is a single!
Thought I should at least give this bike a go, so I rang my favourite Yamaha dealer and to my surprise I could not get a test ride anywhere in Victoria... In fact I was told these bikes are in short supply and would not be able to get one for 6 months... There were a few on showroom floors if I wanted to risk buying before trying. That's a big no thanks....
Anyhow on paper and all reviews I have managed to find tell me the Tenere is no match for the F800GS
