That's a beautiful motorcycle.
 However, I wonder why they routed the exhaust headers so low.

At least we have each other ;-) I don't know why manufactuers don't include luggage racks and big tanks. Don't they think anyone might want to go somewhere on one of these super cool bikes? Finally I agree with Spud, the exhaust routing looks vunerable. Other than that looks awesome. I don't know what it weighs but it 'looks' light.

I would be happy with a 650cc Tenere. The 650 Tenere is offered in other countries, but not the US.
