Interesting times, there is also the KTM 790 ADV coming and the all new GS850 (900)?
Is the Tenere 700 just a little too weedy for motorway work though?

Wouldn't have thought so, my 125 fares ok on motorways so I can't imagine a 700 would have any problems

The 700 engine is perfectly comfy on motorways ( more than can be said for the seat on my XSR) ..it will cruise all day at 80 ....it will also return over 60mpg even in my hands....
