An Answer to all of the "Why should I buy a Tenere?" Threads...

OMG! Gorgeous. Was the scenery OEM?

 

[Boondocker]

No, but you should probably sign some kind of waiver or something ::024::

as well as all the good stuff on this thread, i do actually quite like to take my super10 to Starbucks as well - does this mean i need to sell it?

 

[creggur]

I prefer Dunkin' Donuts coffee myself, but the pic of the Ten in front of a Starbucks in the original post is mine.

My Ténéré gets dirty just thinking about it.

The word that comes to mind when I look at this picture is conquest. Being able to share that feeling with your sweetheart in real time is priceless. That aspect narrows the list of suitable bikes considerably.

More.............. ::022::

Ok, you guy's have done it. I am pulling the trigger on purchasing a 2014 Super T. As riders we live in the moment, and I would rather be stopped at the side of the road with my camera in hand, rather then a wrench. I have a 2008 FJR 1300, and have never had a problem, I mean never. Thank you Yamaha.

That's a great ad. Much better than the original I saw for the '12 model.

Wonder if they'll put effort into people seeing the advertising.

I don't recall ever seeing the long version of that commercial. It's better than the shorter version. Still with only 10K views in 2.5 years, not exactly mass marketing.

Nice pics Fish Eagle. That looks like a real adventure.

And in all honesty I'm probably 100 of those views. Don't know how many times I watched it before I bought mine - and come across it on Youtube occasionally now...

Same here in South Africa, the best adventure bike dont reach the marketing and advertisment bench, only motoring company's that put a efort in marketing is BMW and Toyota,

Would be nice to see ome of these Yamaha clips on tv and more marketing in magazines.

Thank me? Pffffft!

Yamaha should be thanking you, or paying you out of their marketing budget - those pics used properly could make up their entire branding/marketing campaign for the Tenere!

All right, kids, I'm heading out and will be unplugged for a few days (unfortunately not on the bike)

Looking forward to tons of great pics when I get back. Ride safe, and I'll see you guys on the other side!
