    SOLD! 2016 Super Tenere (non-ES) $8,500

    I will probably regret this because this is possibly the best bike I have owned but as I get older, it's time to get something lighter. But this is a great, versatile and reliable travel bike. It is well maintained and well farkled. Set up for a solo rider but easily restored to two up riding...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    I have the Altrider rear rack and replacement rack for the rear seat. Also have Jesse bags with the 'narrow' option, removing the passenger grab rails. For my month long retirement ride in 2018, I took off the tail bag and made it one long continuous shelf , instead of a raised rear shelf for my...

    Tenere seat recommendations

    Although a full report will have to wait for a long day in the saddle, my initial short rides on my Terry’s seat are positive! Except for noticing that it’s comfortable, I don’t notice it! Hopefully, after the first 500 mile day, I’ll feel the same. Nicely made seat!

    Tenere seat recommendations

    Mine might be the 3rd! Seat is at his shop now! The only sore point (literally) on my long summer western trip was the seat. Otherwise, long days were easy on the S10!

    Re: For sale - Yamaha tank bag for Super Tenere (USA) Bump after a week with nearly 100 views but no replies. I am a little surprised no one is interested in this.

    *SOLD* For sale - Yamaha tank bag for Super Tenere (USA)

    Bought this from a friend who briefly had a S10 but moved to an African Twin. He did not use it much and neither have I, just a couple of trips. I am moving in the large tail bag/small tank bag direction. You know what they look like but here are some pics to show it is in good shape. Attaches...

    I posted these on Advrider also. From the weekend trip: West of Monterey, VA on US 250: And a side trip to Spruce Knob, WV: First long weekend on this bike and it is proving to be a great choice for me!

    Can anyone share pics and reviews of Jesse bags?

    If you go to the 'What did you do to your Tenere?' thread under the General Discussion forum, I posted some pics of some mods on April 14th, which included a shot of my 10" Odyssey bags. My biggest complaint with the Jesse's is that the instructions truly suck, complicated by the fact that they...

    Spring 2017 - Romney, West Virginia - May 5 - May 7, 2017

    As much as I was looking forward to this event and meeting some of the members that were helpful to me while shopping for a Super Tenere, I regretfully have to pull out. Family matters intervene and require me to be home this weekend. If any of you folks come through western NC, give me a PM...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    I had a busy Good Friday off. Taking the S10 on the first shakedown camping trip tomorrow with the new bike and luggage setup. First thing was the seat leveling mod found elsewhere on the board, using the lower bumpers. It appears it took well over 1/2" off the tilt. I never had noticed it until...

    YES WARRANTY Purchase, renewal, questions

    I just did the same thing on the 2016 I bought last month. Nice to be covered until 2016. It is a good deal. D&H was very helpful and efficient! Sent the check in and called to check in a week and it was finished. If I was closer, I ride down to them for service! Edited to add: covered until 2021!

    I plan to make the trip to Romney for this event. My first on the Tenere! Looking forward to the riding and meeting some of you folks. Including guys I greatly admire from their ride reports but have no intention of trying to follow! :D

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Took a test ride with the Jesse bags installed finally. Had some trouble with a few things but a shout out to Hogmolly. I PMed him a question on his installation and his advice fixed my issue. I think it's ready for a trip now!
