Greetings from Ukraine! After being a Super Tenere fan for several years, I finally bought my own bike just a couple of weeks ago. It's a matte black 2017 ES model with 7.5K km on it and a whole bunch of useful stuff like three Givi Trekker Outback panniers, crash bars, bash plate, LED lights, auxiliary lights, high Givi windscreen, etc. In fact, I just don't know what else I can add to it. It was pure luck because finding a fresh used S10 here in Ukraine is far from easy.
I got a 2008 Honda Transalp 700 as my first big bike back in 2015, and I enjoyed owning it, especially with not much to compare it to. But with a Super Tenere, this is a totally new experience, this is just a perfect bike for my needs. We do a lot of two-up long-distance traveling on all kinds of roads with my wife, and Transalp is not the best bike when it comes to two-up riding, especially with loads of stuff with you... I mean, it is OK, but far from great - primarily due to lack of power and no easy preload adjustments. After a recent trip to Romanian mountains this summer, I finally decided it was time to upgrade.
Isn't she a beauty?
