Rode one today at Niehaus Cycles in Litchfield, IL. Briefly, I will say that this is one very fun motorcycle! I am on my second Super Tenere, a 2014 ES that I love and this AT really impressed me. It felt so light and flickable and handled great on the few sweepers that I had it on. The rest of the 20 mile loop was country blacktop with a rough surface and it handled that very well, with a smooth ride. It was very comfortable and the engine was quite responsive. I turned the traction control (torque control, Honda calls it) off and as I approached a small rise while in second gear, I rolled the throttle on and it did a wonderful, controllable sky shot and sat back down easily. BTW, you can change TCS settings on the fly and can even turn it off without stopping. if I still had my first gen 2012 Super Tenere, I would probably be ready to trade. I have grown to really like my 2014 Gen 2 ES and will stay with it for a while, since I do about 90% road riding. It seems to me that my Super Tenere is a great adventure TOURING bike and the AT is a great ADVENTURE touring bike. Well done, Honda!
