Just saw this video on the good ol’ interwebs. Apparently the French police or riot control or something are riding the S10. Hard life for the bike’s..

I had a buddy that would put the rpms up to about 2.5k, and control the speed by clutch while he did the cone patterns. It worked, but his clutch plates wore rather quickly. I learned where my "gray" area was, and did the cones quietly. She's designed to be ridden at slow speed on trails, so I assume that she can put up with some clutch abuse. The Yamaha crash bars would work well. They would protect in a fall/drop, and you could mount lights & a siren to them quite easily. Skid plate for curbs, and you're set. Turns. . . . pretty heavy on the clutch in the city I would say. Would suggest crash bars to them.
Thank god their pretty much bullet proof.
Wow this is a hard one for me to read. What is LE-only and RT-P?The usual "LE only" equipment is the rear seat delete. The RT-P had a hinged compartment that was designed for the radio. and radar. The RT-P had a lower first gear, and independent front/rear brakes. The ST also had a rear seat delete. It had a rather useless cowl cover. I think the FJR has the same. I would assume the Tenere has lost it's back seat also. No other alteration required. The RT, ST, and rare Kawi conversion I've seen, have the same front & rear crash bars. Definitely function over form. That being said, I folded the the left & right side bars when I high sided it. Bounced from one side to the other.![]()
Abso-freakin-lutely. Our local dealer has an LE FJR in the showroom for demo. I told them they need to tell Mama-Yama to market the Tenere instead of the FJR.I think LE only means Law Enforcement only and RT-P means a BMW RT, police specific model. The Super Tenere is a great choice for inner city Law Enforcement. The ground clearance and long travel suspension (compared to and FJR, Honda ST or BMW RT) would allow police to more easily ride up onto curbs or raised plazas wherever they're needed.
Mr. Bertrand is correct in everything. No, it wasn't the Tenere that I broke. It was the RT. I was referencing the crash bars on the RT, but after re-reading it, I can see where I caused the confusion. I'm not sure I would have crashed the Tenere in the same situation.Wow this is a hard one for me to read. What is LE-only and RT-P?
Do you implicate in the last two lines that you high sided your beloved super tenere?
Now and then not having the English language as first language kicks me in the but unfortunately.
