Hey man! For sure it can take a hit. The crashbars are from Adventure Spec, I highly recommended them as they protect the radiator, 100% awesome. Also you must put on some proper handguards.
I am absolutely in love with it, it's my unicorn for the type of riding that I love to do (dual sport, street, forest tracks and some gnarly mud and mountains). An orange beast that can be tamed.
I saw you have a Tenere 700. I've subscribed to your channel. Do you plan to sell it and go for a 690 Enduro? I have ridden both, just to let you know, have some insights I can share.
Good to hear on the 690, I sold my Tenere. I think I'll try a 690, I test drove one, and it's much lighter and more nimble than my T7. I'm looking to use it for BDR'S and maybe the Trans America Trail. I enjoy your videos, very similar to how I ride
