5ft9 you should be all right, even so if your bikes loaded up for a long trip the suspension will sag so you should be able to get a good sure foot on the ground. If not im sure it wouldnt be too long until someone brought out a set of lower links as the new tenere seems to be aimed at a very wide selection of people or you could make a set yourself.
