Then I broke the rule... I bought a new Tenere last September, took it to the USA, and rode it 23,000 miles over everything imaginable (and I mean some serious sh!t x), brought it back, got it serviced... not a problem - the bike is excellent in every respect regarding a solo travel machine...
If you want a weak point, then the cush-drive rubbers seem to wear quite rapidly... mine were very soft after 10,000 miles - but the bike carried on right across the States and back again (another 12,000+ miles with the same rubbers in... ok, should have thought to take some spares with me x)
But that's it. It really is an awesome bike.
