CONFIRMED!!!!!! US Delivery Date - New Thread, new info this week

[Gat]

I just picked mine up this afternoon with 0 miles on it. The dealer got it from the trucking company this morning (it's been in their warehouse since Thursday : ).

I had a nice (but hot) 35 miles ride home, now it's time to add the farkles. I think I have the only Tenere in the West Michigan area.

I was ;D the whole way home!!

"Black Knights"? I prefer to think of you as "Raven Lunatics" ! )

Ha! I've been called worse.

Don't have my Super Ten yet but hope to get the "the truck's here" call today..... 8)

Apparently Oklahoma is so hot right now the truck drivers are scared to drive here. Seems nearly every other state in the union has their bikes but us. It's a cool 102 today but it's supposed to be 108 on Tuesday and Wednesday. That should be a fun ride home. :-\

Got my new ride home about an hour ago. Picked up one from Gerner,nc that someone backed out of.

Wool!!

Quick ride of this very comfy bike, I really like it. Good power, comfy seating postion, good brakes. Wasp windshield brackets are a MUST. I found smooth airflow, but I feel heat on my left leg. I may stick some a/c foam insulation between the left fairing and frame to stop it from coming through that crack to my leg. 157 miles, gotta eat and get back out there. I like it so much I believe I will be selling the 950sm.

Anyone else in Colorado hearing anything?

I just got back from picking mine up. They were prepping Randy's and next would be Steve's (not on the forum). That will be all 3 for this dealership.

Congrats S10Dano, and to all who took delivery. Looks like it"s going to be Tues the 2nd from my dealer in Bishop, Ca. Looks like UPS freight don"t work weekends. Thats ok, a few more days is no big deal. I still can"t belive im going to get this bike.

Good stuff Doc- they are probably tired of me calling them. I did get the poster today from D & H so that's a start
I am hoping to pick mine up next Thursday or Friday at the latest but that depends on delivery and set-up. Let me know if I can help with your trip at all.

they asked me to fly into Huntsville, but they offer few flights from here. They said they would only pick me up after hours in I flew in Bham. Not sure when I can get it now, I wish they wanted my DL for trade.

 

[Wulfgar]

Given a little notice I am sure I can get you there from Birmingham. PM me if needed and let's see what we can do to make it happen.

6 hour ride to the Talimena Scenic Drive, last 2 hours was 100F. Mena was 108F just before going up the mountain, 95F on top. Had been running the windscreen in high pos, had to stop and move to low position when it go to about 93 or higher. 900 miles, been dropping the hammer for some short spurts up to triple digits, motor is strong!

For me the suspension was stiff, I backed off the preload on the forks to about 6-1/2, (stock is 5-1/2), and also backed off the compression and rebound probably 6 or 8 clicks. I have been adjusting for the past 2 days, and finally got it like I like it. Pulled the forks up 1/2" to quicken the steering a tad.

When you guys try to adjust your lights, you are gonna have a trip. Need a dentist mirror and a 8mm socket with 3" extension and ratchet. Don't think Yamaha mentions how to do it in the MOM, but it is in the service manual with pictures of the locations.

P.S. Running 70mph in the 100F, engine temps 176, NICE!

I had a great ride today. Did about 160 miles on my favorite twisties and the bike was great.

Tenere ... Tenere ... Coming to the U. S. A.

Great news. I'm having a ball just seeing who'e chiming up next with a new Tenere. Great stuff. R

I have had my bike roughly 24 hours now, and it has 605 miles on it.

Looks like I do the 600 mile service and add some more farkles in the morning.

 

[Firefight911]

Went to see mine being built today. I licked it! Oh, and I licked the other lucky Roseville Yamaha owners bikes as well. BWWWAAAAHHHHAAAAAAAAHHHHAAAAAAAA

Here's my daughter giving an approving look;

The bike in teh background is Don in Lodi's.

Chico Motorsports got me my VIN... 045. Bikes is ready next week and that is good because that is when all the money is together.

Awesome Simmons1,

You probably put about 200 just bringing it home from out there in Longview. O0 I'll need to put my first 600 on quickly as well. I'm taking the bike on a 6k ride starting the 20th of August.

Is that the WASP windshield bracket?? Great looking bike....in BLACK....the fastest color!! ;D

.....and I still haven't heard a word although mine was ordered on the 2nd day.....

 

[SpeedStar]

Thanks, Yes that is the Wasp screen mount. It works great. I also have the Altrider luggage rack and frame guards.

At the dealer picking it up and ready to ride with wife camera in hand. It was a long road hanging on for this bike but well worth it.
