Welcome Tony
Try the T700 and report back what you think they're a very good bike there's a healthy discussion goin on in here :- viewtopic.php?f=23&t=50135&sid=c8c3db8f ... 54821b2ed5 , mine's in for service this week :D means I get to ride it for a few miles.

Why not tell the inmates here what sort of riding you're into or planning (tours, green lanes, rallies) they like that sort of thing, don't worry they don't bite - often :lol:

Hi Harv
Thanks for the welcome, I will add some more later.
The Tenere thread is my go-to resource but my bank manager is not happy!!

Welcome from Holmfirth Tony,

I spent most of 2019 commuting up and down the A61 to Harlow Hill on my old Africa Twin.
