Ah, so some proper pictures then,,,, and a real appraisal of the bike.

I don't have a problem with a bikes short-comings, as much as where manufacturers try to sell the whole 'world traveller' concept on a bike that really isn't up to the job (someone said to me "these Tigers [XC 800], are brilliant off-road", and they just aren't. I wouldn't take mine anywhere near the stuff the Tenere has been. )

You can still love a bike, but accept it's problem areas (I ride a Tenere for gods sake!)
