I think it's a beauty.
I'd like a GSA but I'm really hopping this one will be much cheaper. Hey, I can hope... Some day, some day.

Nice Bike. Looks like a possible solution for someone like myself with less cash.  Thats almost exactly what I would like to replace the 954 with.

I was at the office about to go home when I saw it, so I was going to translate it when I got home, but Brent beat me to it.

Veni Vidi Vici !!
Looks very nice. If the price is under $14K it could be a huge seller for them.
...dude you ride an offroad bike with slicks, 1/2 the weight of a GS, double the suspension, with a browning 50 cal going off 32" from your skull as a daily freaking driver - I'd expect anything except a nitro dragbike to be bland by comparison - SSG

Yet it weighs less than the new VFR.

Tenere looks pretty sweet. I like the skidplate and headlight protectors.
I love the engine on the GS-A, but the cylinders sticking out can occasionally be a bummer. (legal to split lanes out here) I'd have given the Tenere a strong look when I was shopping.

I'll really be looking hard at something in this class as soon as I get back to Idaho. Due to my physical size the physical weight of the bike will be a primary consideration. My test ride on the GSA1200 has definitely ruled it out.

Ever kicked one by accident, like say you were trying to back yourself up a slight incline and your foot slipped? they don't budge, and you definitely know you've kicked it.

Yes, it does stop your foot.
Also been real close to dragging them down car doors too.

Yeah I can imagine lane splitting with the A model with the extra bars is even more enjoyable

To me a parallel twin isn't a very exciting motor, but it probably makes a lot of sense for that type of bike.

And will probably sell as well as 'zook's V-Strom over here. Who are, incidentally, witholding 2010 models from our shores due to stellar dealer inventory.
It's a shame because this looks like a bike that would really interest me - a solid GS alternative with an existing support network.

Exactly…I know at least 3 people waiting for these of which at least 50% would be at the dealer gladly paying MSRP for one.
