Hey Snakeboy,
What problems have you had with your Tenere XT660Z?
Mine's been pretty good, but I think probably has a lot less miles than yours....

If you mean the Tenere I can tell that Im trying to take such a bike around the world for the moment but most likely I will not be able to endure it because of an endless stream of problems. Despite several rebuilds of engine it wont run as it should.
Its the second heaviest single cylinder bike ever made (after the Suzuki Dr800 mk2) and the engine is known for being prone to surging etc due to lean set up. Not the qualities you would want for a overlanding bike.
A BMW GS650 is lighter, uses less fuel and the 650 engine has been around for ages so it must be pretty solid.
