After just dropping my 660 tenere for the second time at a stand still and doing the splits tearing my hamstring trying to stop it dropping. I really appreciate the lightness of this bike. The only thing I disliked was the realistic cruising speed is only 70mph. They should have made it 650cc, would i buy one? If after 12 months they have no designs flaws maybe I hope its a success they are British after all.
