Sold the trusty KLR, back on a 2014 Yamaha XT660Z

A big difference, It's good to be back on the XT ;)

Are Honda bringing out a mid capacity single to directly compete with the Tenere?

As an aside, how do you get on with the weight of the Tenere? When I had mine I could never get used to the 'top heavy' feel of it when I was on the trails.

Why? I would suggest the Super Tenere is the one you meant (that is,if you're referring to competitors to the CRF1000L - can't quite bring myself to call it the @)
As for the Ten, it's great although admittedly no GP450 or 690.
