This might not be a very popular way to look at it, but who really gives a sh*t?
I actually LIKE the fact that it's kind of a rare bird. Since it's not a super "hot" bike, easier to get, and get a decent deal on one.
It has the benefit of not bringing whatever BMW baggage it might to every pull-up.
It's interesting looking. The utter quality and intelligence of the engineering makes you feel like you have an inside line on a well-kept secret.
You don't have to wince at some phony, testosteron-y marketing campaign exhorting you to "find your own road to adventure." You can figure out how to do that without someone telling you to.
The most beautiful thing about the SuperT is its honest-to-goodness, unpretentious authenticity. It's a beautifully thought-through, beautifully made piece of adventure-engineering. Nice to see, through the interwebs, that some other far-flung folks seem to get it and enjoy it.
Beyond that, I only hope Yamaha sells at least enough to maintain a steady supply of parts, which people actually rarely seem to need, because few things break.
