Any experience on the 660 Tenere, would really like to know people's opinions on them as I like it a lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any experience on the 660 Tenere, would really like to know people's opinions on them as I like it a lot?I had one. Superb bike. Ultra reliable, large tank, can go anywhere and a superb dual sport. Probably the best all round single cylinder dual sport around. The only negatives are it’s a single with and runs out of ooomph a bit. Only a problem on long straight roads but other than that it’s a gem of a bike. BSG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted June 28, 2020 Share Just saw this pic in my FB newsfeed. (Location: next to Tairua river, State Highway 25A, Coromandel, New Zealand). What you don't see in the pic is the 1x Husky FE450 and 1x Suzuki DR650, both loaded up with camping gear, that emerged from the bush on the other side of the river, then proceeded to ride through the river, to where the above pictured steel donkey was posing The "influencers" didn't look happy when we rolled through their photo-shoot. Perhaps it was because we ruined the shot, or they were just jealous that their bike couldn't cross the river These were 2 of our non-instagram shots from earlier that day.

Spokey Posted June 29, 2020 Share https://youtu.be/5WJvQqeQpe8Perhaps my favourite Motorcycle vids on U Choob, high quality productions. Actually Fort9 and MAD TV.I sure hope that I can test ride one of these some day, I feel it would be perfect for me, Like my KLR on ‘roids!

IceCreamMan Posted June 29, 2020 Share Everything looks wrong there, lots of work but its proportions are wrong....... Strangely thats more or less what i thought too when i saw it. Its an assault to the visual senses... like a big up yours to fibanaucci and dimensions that please the eye. ITs not something i would own but i really appreciate the hours and hours of toil here. The manifold which must of been hand built to feed the cylinders etc. Its a marvel of imagination and engineering. Why, who knows there were so many ppl there i could not single out the owner to have a chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any experience on the 660 Tenere, would really like to know people's opinions on them as I like it a lot? the XT660R is just as good, for much less money. Its just the big tank on the Tenere which makes it special. And the longer travel forks which are a pain if you are under 6-foot. But lets keep that to ourselves so we don't spread the secret......

Jip.Its like a bike I saw on FB over the weekend.Massive 535cc RD, 2mil stroker kit on a RD350 motor.BUT in the old spindly RD frame. Just seems like such a waste.That bike tie's itself in knots with its standard 50hp, now its pushing +100hp. They added like 3 or 4 pieces of piping to " reinforce" the frame.......

Also dual front disks and the Tenere has got "houding" it just looks the dogs bollocks... BSG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
