Hello everyone,
A big day for me: I just picked up a 2012 Super Ténéré this morning. Black/w red Yamaha stripe. I've never owned anything like it or even anything I would consider a modern bike. My off-road experience is ancient history, but I sometimes ride unpaved roads on a road bike. The paved road per square mile ratio is pretty low here, and the many unpaved backroads have been mostly off limits to me--my main reason for buying this type of bike. Also, my commute is 33 miles; good road, but mostly over mountains populated by elk; swing shift so always riding home in the dark. I figured the S10's ABS just might save my butt some dark and stormy night.
I'm looking forward to all the information, stories, and wit on the forum and hope to contribute something useful occasionally. Thank you all for your posts, past and future.
