Hard to be sexy with a big ol' beak poking out there.

Not too many ADV bikes are sexy.

Nor are the riders !

I think my tenere is a handsome girl ...

I don't know about "handsome girl" that's kinda dual gender, weird.
"Sexy girl", maybe, I don't see the sexiness in her.
But my tenere is for sure a BIG girl and I like big butts and I cannot lie.
Them skinny minnie miller type, look too rough around the edges for me.

A repost from 5MAY20:
I like big bikes and I can not lie. You other brothers can't deny. That when a bike rides in with an itty bitty waist, and a round thing in your face, you get sprung, want to pull up tough. 'Cause you notice that bike was stuffed, I'm hooked and I can't stop staring. Oh baby, I want to get wit'cha, and take your picture. My homeboys tried to warn me. But that bike you got makes (me so horny)…

the Suzuki , well , its not pretty or interesting or appealing to the eye . it may work and be a great platform to build an adventure from , but it has no style . unless ugly is a style . and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. some people are blind . and I guess in person it may look better , and if it has all the cool features (and it has some ) at a reasonable price .... it may after time start looking quite nice ... " hey guys , do we want a beak ?" "no, that's so last year " . " but we have all these left over beaks and the boss wants get rid of them "." there you go. got to make the boss happy".

I think you're right about the cruise, but those rims look tubeless to me. It has that raised portion in the middle that keeps the spokes out of the rim. But . . . . the article says they're cast alloy. They definitely don't look like cast alloys.

For some reason, Suzuki have gone for a 21” tubed front tyre and a 17” tubeless rear.

As far as the S10 goes, the flange or whatever you call it on our tubeless rims are the one thing I really hate about the Super Ten. They are a pain to clean and they collect crud, the best tubeless rims are the ones fitted to the BMW GS, Ducati Multi and the latest version of the Moto Guzzi VT85

I would say the spokes are the worst thing about our rims. Unless you want to polish them every day.
