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. Ready to head out cross country tomorrow!
Standard Super Tenere (non-ES) with 32,297 miles. I am the 2nd owner. The first owner bought it new, did an around the country ride and decided to get back into old Tigers. I bought it to replace my BMW, looking for a reliable travel bike. I retired two years ago and did my own around the country ride. About 67% of the mileage on this bike came from 2 trips! I purchased the Yamaha Extended Warranty thru the original owner and this bike is under warranty until July, 2021! Dealer checked the valves at the first suggested interval (26,500 miles!) and they were still in spec.
As a 2nd generation bike, it has the cruise control, which I used to not understand on a motorcycle until my hands got arthritis and carpal tunnel!
Extras include:
