Just like its forefathers were. The use of that engine means that an A2 licence legal, 47bhp version is sure to be available as well.

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

I used to do loads of motorway in European my 660 Tenere with no issues at all.

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....
