This would be a great adventure ride.

Some of it looked like my idea of adventure riding...... but some did not!

Cool stuff!!!

Utah has some of the best offroad riding available in the U.S. I have ridden the White Rim Trail on a DR650, I wouldnt want to do it on a large dual sport bike and would have actually preferred a WR250 or something similar for that ride. I dropped the bike going up Murphys Hogback, fortunately I stepped off to the right, stepping off to the left was not an option.

I have to admit I'm not inclined to take my expensive (and only) bike into conditions that rough. I love the idea of it, but only if I'm riding a Tenere that belongs to someone else. If I'm paying the bill I'm much more inclined to take a 250-450cc dirt bike. With my limited pocketbook reality must take precedence over fantasy. Whatever I'm riding, that looked like a lot of fun.

I agree about a smaller bike in some of the riding conditions shown. How bad were the ones they didn't show ??? :question:

I think that's why they ride with 5 other guys, so they can pick them up off the ground 20 times a day.

Bet they had a good nights sleep each night, but had a hard time getting out of bed each morning.

How did you like the yamaha super tenere experience? Was Yamaha a good host?

I wished Yamaha would do this in the USA.

They did in 2011. Yamaha Super Tenere National Adventure Riding Series Link

Maybe they'll schedule some more dates in 2012.
