While it hasn't been officially discontinued, I'll bet money that there won't be a 2021 Super Tenere.
We do this EVERY YEAR, same as the FJR and some others. According to people like you, this model was to have been discontinued EVERY year since 2012 and a person I know with Yam N.A. wasn't too subtle about the model continuing.

Sooner or later you'll be right, but on the other hand the FJR is still going after 19 years.

First of all, FJR has been officially cancelled for 2021.

There's some logic behind my statement for 2021 S10's. All bikes sold in the EU for 2021 have to be Euro5 compliant, Super Tenere, FJR too for that matter, are not Euro5.

Don't think there's any argument that the S10 has not been a strong seller. So therefore no push on Yamaha to redesign it to meet Euro5, especially when it can sell a bajillion T7's that share a platform with a 100 other models they sell. So do they keep it around for select markets where it barely sells already?

Easy excuse for Yamaha to cull their model line, same applies to all other manufacturers.

I had heard that rumor and asked the factory rep at Daytona. He said that as far as he knew there would be a 2021 model. -JEP-

logically makes sense to keep 1200 model in the lineup to compete with big bore ADV bikes of the world.

I'm not saying that it's not gone for good, but the FJ was gone for few years before it return as the FJR; faster, stronger, better. Do we know that the T12 and FJR can't be made compliant? Easily. . . . inexpensively? IIRC, the early VMax had a similar problem, year to year, with EPA requirements. Yamaha just kept increasing the V-Boost, and carried on. Maybe Volkswagen will show them how to pass. :rolleyes:

Yep, got an email from mother-yamaha today.

Looks like a BRAND NEW color for 2021. At least I don't recognize the color in the email. Okay, maybe it's not totally new, but the yellow trim marking does look to be in a different place.

It will be fun to see when the 2021 game starts again predicting the demise of the bike. Okay...maybe not fun, but highly predicable.

2021 ES only , no base model .
Cool, after 4 or 5 machines (BMW 1250 Adv,Triumph 900 Tiger GT PRO, Ducati Multistrada 1260S, Suzuki 1050XT), I think I'm gonna get a RELIABLE bike (Had 800 Tiger 10k km in a year, minors issues but still, Honda 1200VFR DCT 15k km in a year, 1 minor issue), I love the face of the GS (riode the 2018 1200 normal and ADC, fun-tastic) but my god this reliability, no way.

Ill contact the Yam dealer in Switzerland tomorrow.

Went from Yamaha Switzerland importer, the only color for 2021 will be blue/black with blue rims at the price of 16,990 CHF which is 19,185 US$.
I'll get this one with some options and will wait 2022 for the replacement, if any who knows.

You don’t have to have a euro 5 compliant motor in Switzerland?

The Super Tenere 1200 is EURO 4 so in 2021 and because 2021 is Euro 5 mandatory Yamaha will stop the S10, they are selling their last bikes and finito !
Rumors say it will be a new Euro 5 S10 in 2022, let's see.

Fixed the kickstand? What was wrong with the old one? I notice from Gen 1 to Gen 2 it went from steel to aluminum.
nothing wrong with either,

i took the steel one off my gen 1 as it was rusting but was a good stand i now have a ally gen 2 on my gen 1 looks better but its doing the same thing as my steel one with no issues,

but i know loads have complained about it
