New to this site, traded my Tenere in August 2019 for a 2018 RS; no regrets.

Welcome aboard.
Spent a wonderful year in a drafty duplex at the north end of Blackstone Boulevard where Providence hits Pawtucket in the early 80s.
Enjoy your travels online and on the road.

Just curious. What didn't you like about the Tenere? Asking for someone who has an interest in them...Not me. I love my RS Big Grin

The bike did everything good; it was top heavy and just didn’t thrill me to ride it (can’t really explain).

Very interesting. Your post time stamp seems to be from the future Big Grin
I'm reading this at 6;17am and the reply says today @ 7;17am. Settings glitch, I'm sure
Actually now I posted it says I'm an hour in the future too! I thought it would be different, somehow

Welcome to the Forum Community. You likely won't have regrets with an RS, unless you did a lot of off-roading with the Tenere.

My wife went from '15 Super Tenere to '16 RS. No regrets. She's riding '20 GS now, still no regrets.
