I'm going as part of a group of about 8 - and we are shipping bikes to / from NZ in a container to LA then riding to Jellicoe via I40 and I75 in the first week. I'm considerring shipping my bike over independently to do 4-5 weeks New Mexico to Washington State as a warm up - so I think the choice is made really as those early weeks will mainly be road based and the XTZ will be perfect. Plan is then to meet the guys in LA and strip the bike of unnecessary stuff and do the TAT and container back to NZ.
What I need to do is throw the Tenere down in the dirt somewhere to get that first scratch on it eh? Still too shiny to consider as a propper enduro machine.
