Do you consider the AT an upgrade from your current bike?
Is it a £3500 worth of upgrade?
Could you farkle your current bike for £3500 and get what you want?

so different.quite like the tenere standard .i suppose i should try get another test drive i wasnt too sure about it the first time....its a winter in front of the computer thing...but i could just about afford the 3500 and it would be a stress free changeover,if only i was happy about the (gerabox issues) if any ? the spokes i can deal with

Has the one whose name should not be mentioned on ABR still got his Africa Twin as he is probably the best person for you to have a chat and and pint with to discuss the pros and cons of the bike.

and please just BUY THE BLOODY THING then regale us with all the pics of your adventures

take a wild guess why there is low mileage AT available for sale so soon...

I've rode and rebuilt tenere for a few years, I love them, so easy to work on, the new tenere has never gave me the incentive to have one, not that I wouldn't have one maybe some day, I do have the new twin, I'm not at all disappointed with it, I can't say what one is best as I have not rode the new tenere,
