Would need to be a lot more bike than the FZ-09 to interest me. I want all the electronic features my S10 has or forget it. It's pretty hard to go backwards once you have them.
really? yes I'm very grateful for the ABS, but if the Tenere didn't have TC it wouldn't be a deal breaker. Unless its just above zero and raining, do care about the TC.
The power modes were a bit useless on the FZ. I had the ECU reflashed to start up in STD mode, and that's where it stayed. Again, ABS would have been nice.
TC will not save you from a front end slide. We all have TC in our wrists and brains. ABS is great for panic situations, and I will not knock that, but that's just me.
Bring it over, it will be an interesting bike. I would be more interested in an fz07 with tall legs, and spoked rims ::015::
speaking of going backwards...i'm enjoying my 13 yr old FZ1
