The notes on the dash are great. It takes a visitor from a foreign country to show dumbass Americans which lane to drive in.

This is part of the series of bikes that began with the TT/XT-500 and never actually stopped. The XT600 was/is very popular in much of the rest of the world, especially OZ and this is simply the latest generation.

And the 1200 Tenere is being imported to the USA.
