You should really try a 2022 model. I bet you'd like it more than the 2014 one!I didn't like anything with my 2014, sold it for a 2019 R1250GS and have not looked back. I think the GS is the best ADV bike out there.
Thanks, yeah the arthritis is kinda ruing my comfort. I can’t keep my foot on the left peg with my knee bent very long. Had to fit highway pegs to make any distance riding bearable. 6-7 weeks off the bike is kind of what I’m expecting too. I’ve got a rally I want to attend first week of September as my goal.Good luck! My left knee was troublesome for 30+ yrs. Yes, I had to mount and dismount on the peg as well. I really torqued it in 2021 and finally got a replacement last year. Couldn't have gone smoother and was feeling good about riding this year....till another unrelated health issue cropped up. FWIW I was off the bike for 6-7 weeks after surgery. After that, no real problems. And the fact that there was now no arthritis pain cropping up when I rode was great.
Not necessarily. If a person really wants a Beemer, they're not gonna be happy with a lowly Tenere.You should really try a 2022 model. I bet you'd like it more than the 2014 one!
I know, I know The humor in it is that they're exact same bikes! No change from 14' to 22'. Ha ha! Save for the bold new graphics! Lol! The S10 could definitely use juuuuust a little freshening up. All levity aside though, the BMW GS is a stellar performer! Life is short; I say ride what brings you joyNot necessarily. If a person really wants a Beemer, they're not gonna be happy with a lowly Tenere.
Same here. 6 weeks post surgery I went for a ride when it was in the high 50's here. In jeans. Usually this would cause arty pain within 5 minutes. I rode for an hour before I realized there was no pain. or stiffness. I too planned a rally in Sept. but don't know if I can make it. My current recovery is slooooowwww. Best, of luck with the TKR, they do amazing things these days!Thanks, yeah the arthritis is kinda ruing my comfort. I can’t keep my foot on the left peg with my knee bent very long.

It's been rumored that Yamaha microscopically changed the fueling in '17 without telling anybody. People that have ridden pre/post '17 claimed they felt a slight difference. Who knows. I couldn't ever trust a Beemer again. My friend with gorgeous '18 1200 Tiger went to sell it the other day. The new buyer shows up, and the bike won't start. $700 part. Not his first major issue either. Just sayin'.. . . . No change from 14' to 22'. Ha ha! . . . .
There is no difference between the 2014 and 2022, except for color and very minor engine tweaks. I didn't like anything, the suspension, engine mapping, seat, handling, etc. Only put 2600 miles in 4 years of ownership. I bought my GS in 2019 new and after 3 years have over 15,000 miles!You should really try a 2022 model. I bet you'd like it more than the 2014 one!
Good Lord, that's a lot of trips to Starbucks.. . . . I bought my GS in 2019 new and after 3 years have over 15,000 miles!
When I sold my GS it had 117,000 wonderful miles on it, seriously. On the first year rode it from Vancouver Canada to Panama and it made me visit some of the wonderful BMW dealers on the way to say "hi". I would be stretching the truth if I told you "trouble free" hahaha.There is no difference between the 2014 and 2022, except for color and very minor engine tweaks.

Always makes me smile, with you though. Have you ever been to the zoo and prodded the monkeys through the bars?There is no difference between the 2014 and 2022, except for color and very minor engine tweaks.

You beat me to it. I was going to compare the Beemer to the popular, although high maintenance, hot chick. Fun for awhile, but her shit gets old.. . . . In the mean time my wallet is happy with lowly fat girl . . . .
And another version of, let’s attack the GS.This thread is just another version of "What Will Next Year's Tenere Be Like".
I don't agree with your statement, simply because my post has nothing to do with the GS, please read it again, the GS is a great bike, 117K miles speaks for it self. This has to do with BMW as a whole.And another version of, let’s attack the GS.
Quite odd really how a thread on what people don’t like about their Super Tenere, has turned into some obsessing over BMW again.
I don’t need to read your post again. You appear to have assumed, incorrectly, that I am referring to your post. I actually thought your posts #72&75 were balanced views.I don't agree with your statement, simply because my post has nothing to do with the GS, please read it again, the GS is a great bike, 117K miles speaks for it self. This has to do with BMW as a whole.
We will find out how well the S10 holds out in comparison, time will tell if it hit 100,000miles and what fails, but one thing for sure so far, the cost of ownership is making me smile more.
Not true at all. There had been several mentions of other brands, and what the other brands had compared to the Tenere. But . . . . then . . . . Mr. Goldwing, post #42 below . . . . came in . . . . and that was that.And another version of, let’s attack the GS.

Ya' can't pull the pin on that grenade and not expect some return fire.I didn't like anything with my 2014, sold it for a 2019 R1250GS and have not looked back. I think the GS is the best ADV bike out there.
