Hi All,
I was looking for a newer/better/larger bike, since I've been riding a Ninja EX-500 as my learning bike for a year. I was thinking maybe XRS900, or FJ09 for longer travel, more comfort, or even Triumph Tiger 800.
Last week’s Tuesday it was a Yamaha demo day near me in Boston. I kind of liked the two 900’s but didn’t love them. Just out of curiosity I asked to ride the Super Tenere, thinking it would be too big, tall, unrefined, wild for me… but I had time, and curiosity.
It was love a first mount, and I started riding I could not stop giggling. Demo rides a slow, a bit lame, but it was just enough to know that was it. That would be the bike. I week later (this past Tuesday) I went to pick up a used one in upstate NY, almost 300 miles away from me, and drove it home. Best ride ever so far. And looking forward to many more.
My girlfriend also loves it, and after a quick 2-up ride around the block last night she’s now buying gear to go as a pillion and plan our first get away.
I look forward to chat with you all and learn more about how to take care of my new S10,
Gustavo
