BMW G650 X-challenge
I'm at a crossroads

Yamaha will APPARENTLY be getting the new Tenere by the end of this month.
It will reportedly cost about R85K
I paid R60K for my X-Challenge. With the extras it is worth about R65K

I am less interested in playing in quarries and more keen on trips. The X-Challenge has been rigged for adventure touring with some tough roads in mind. I never planned to use it as an enduro bike.

Now here comes the Tenere; Set up for touring out of the box but R25K more than my current bike. And lets be honest; the Yamaha is probably inferior as an action orientated machine. It is worse in almost every way except comfort and fuel range.

Should I trade in my X for the Ten?
I can decide for myself but I'd love to hear from you peeps. There might be an argument that I missed.
