We are lucky enough ,"state-side", to be able to order the Yamaha Tenere'. Now there will be more selections available in the sport tour-adventure market. Triumph has the 800cc Tiger, Honda has the Crosstour X, (see hondamc2011.com/), and the CrossCountry 1200CC, both Hondas with a 90 degree v-4, six-speed. The CrossCountry has an automatic tranmission available. I can see Kawasaki getting into this picture next. BMW brought the 1k rr sport bike to compete with the Japanese engineering market. Looks like the consumer can see some good competition in the market now. Hey Eric Buell, how about your next Ulysses.
