New to me crashed 2012 Super Tenere project
I just bought a 2012 Super Tenere! It has 19k miles and no internal mechanical issues. It does need at least a battery, tires, a straight subframe, and all of the front fairings and stuff. It did come with a new front stay bracket and a windscreen and the old broken headlight assembly. Front rim was replaced by the guy I bought it from. I think I got an ok deal on it but there is work to be done. I am not really interested in dumping tons of money into it for a custom build as I have another motorcycle (and a girlfriend) that require some maintenance, I just want to spend what it takes to get the bike riding right again.
Maybe I’m not looking in the right places or looking for the right things, but I can’t seem to find any fairing kits or light assemblies, at least for what I think is a reasonable price. Even anything aftermarket I can’t seem to find easily. Are there good websites to look on besides ebay? Any classifieds that are active? I’m also wondering if there are aftermarket parts that everybody replaces the OEM version of? Maybe upgrades you can’t live without?
(My brother and I are buying adventure bikes and taking them on a trip from the Chicago suburbs area. Any suggestions on where to go would be appreciated, we want to go on a scenic route if possible)

The R1200GS is underestimated in my opinion.
I bought this bike a year and half ago, rode it to AZ from NorCal with my wife and did a trip to Montana solo. Seems to be a good design! On Monday I joined a KTM 300XC and a 500EXC for some trail riding to see how it did. The trails were dry and the Motoz tires did great!
For some reason I see a lot of negativity towards BMW on various motorcycle forums, I don't understand the hate. The bike seems to be able to go most anywhere I want to, unless there is deep mud.
I'm not a Youtuber, but I made a video. No music, no talking, just riding Penny Pines OHV near Upper Lake, CA. https://youtu.be/S60aGyUz0E0

We are cool right
In my working day I can have what ever playing in the background, I was listening to a biker cast thing and these guys were ranking bikes on the cool factor and apparently adv bikes aren't cool, so my question is to you all what is the coolest adv bike?
