No expiriences with Honda, but riding XTZ 660 Tenere for a years. With appropriate tyres ( I am using Michelin T63 ) Tenere is good bike for offroad, no problems at all. Bike is very good for long trips, reliable, average fuel consumption around 5 l; engine has real 46-48 PS, but is smooth and with excelent torque, no vibrations comparing to others singles. Bike is big but easy to handle. Just be sure that oil cosumption is regular and if searching for older type, chage voltage regulator with ones from newer model ( double headlights ). Wind protection is excelent, seat is not so comfort as on F650 or Transalp, for example. If you find good ones ( try to find newer model ), it is worth money. Change stoch exhaust with aftermarket, Arrow or Sebring if possible.
I like this bike, past huge mileage and never stoped me on the road !
