Does look good however is this what the market ms have been waiting for?
For sure its going to be in the 210kg Wet and plus bracket which is already swamped with bikes , what the market wants is 170-180 kgs (wet)
220 miles per tank +
Decent fully adjustable suspension
Bombproof reliability
21-18 wheels
500-700 cc twin.
Capable of long distance with CC.

Have i missed anything? :))

Yes - the original Tenere ticks or betters those boxes. And that's getting on for 40 yrs ago! So much for 'progress' 🤣

For me you missed out tubeless tyres and 80mpg minimum, apart from that you have nailed it regarding the biggest bike I want. My issue is that I have a 14 year old gs that is barely run in at 60k miles and is probably worth around £3k.
Open your eyes and you see what is in front of you, open your mind and you see a bigger picture but open your heart and you see a whole new World.

I had a red and white 30lt tank tenere and it was an awesome bike , I used to change the front sprocket for dirt or road riding if they produced a new version with better brakes and an electric foot I'd buy one now

Well, there's the new Tenere 700, but it's vastly inferior as regards weight and tank range. I have one but would far rather have a new version of the original version.
