I appreciate the responses. I have a Wolfman on the KLR and it has did a number on the tank. Although I like having a tank bag, I really dislike what that one has done to the tank. I suspected when the Givi was loaded it may touch, but I also thought there may be enough adjustment with the...

Does the bag hit the fuel tank? Is there a difference when the tank bag is loaded down with goodies or empty as far as how close it is to the tank or does it rest on the tank all the time...or not at all. Thanks

2017 ES model

My problem up here is there is still a lot of sand on the roads. It is not all the roads but a lot of them. Sand itself would not be bad, but the salt they mix with is what sucks. Ride safe!

I came here to the forum researching my new bike. I am now a Tenere owner.

Thank you for your comments and help. I appreciate hearing from you all! For those interested, I pick up my 17ES Saturday morning. ;D

Congratulations on the 2017ES. Although I do like and could live with them all, being red, black and cobalt blue, I will say my favorite is the cobalt. I didn't care for the cobalt looking at pictures, but seeing it in person, both inside and outside, it is nice. I also liked the dealer with...

This winter I would have made a road trip to pick one up...just to get out our winter. Now not so much. Thanks for the link and info. I very much appreciate it.

I should have said in previous post about prices, those prices do not include tax, license or title because I live in another state. I am not sure color would be worth one or two thousand, but of course the value of newer model should be worth something. Not sure what though.

I am going to throw this out here. I have a price of 13k for the 15ES, another at 14k for a 16ES and 15.2 for the 17ES. I am curious to what you guys think. I have been to several dealers and it seems these are the best prices I can get.

Thank You! I had a guy tell me today they re-mapped for 2017. By the way, he only had a 2017. I have did a lot of S10 research these last few months and everything I seen said only the color has changed. I live in an area with not a lot of Tenere's in the dealers, so going has been tough, but...

I will put this disclaimer out there to start...I will bet there is a thread about what I am asking, and I have searched, but I can't find anything specific. I am looking to purchase one of these listed in subject. I looked at and sat on each one of these today. Other than the color and the...

All good points! I have studied this forum, trying to do my homework best I can. I have been riding a KLR for the last 5 years and have decided I want something a little more road friendly and still have the ability to ride gravel/fire road stuff. I do post on a youtube channel and follow a...

I am new here and joined to learn about the Super Tenere...because I am contemplating purchasing one. I ran across this thread and it has given me pause...do I want to buy a bike that will be discontinued a year or two from now. hmmmmmm
