Riding the GS and GSA was part of why I bought a Triumph Tiger 1200.
The only other bike I considered was the KTM 1290 and it would be in the garage if it had a shaft.
You're selling your bike, you're moving on, what NEXT ?

I already decided to get the KTM 1290 SAR. When I will be in my 80s and not confident about my riding I will get a GSA because it does everything for you...

Did you ever take a Buell for a test ride ?
Me? Nope. I remember seeing an older one in the bed of a truck. I was amazed that it was small enough to fit with the tail gate closed.

I got it with 5k miles gps all boxes but may opt for the adaptive headlight. They were out when it was produced and dealer says $500 and theyll swap it out. After reading up on the advrider forum They may add labor for 1.25>3.0 hours. I picked it up in Virginia and trailered it to FL My buddy bitched the whole time saying the Tenere was boring. Reminded him he should not be a dick since he is borrowing it.
I might add I got this bike due to previous owner wanting a k1600 that weekend so I cut a check for payoff and signed some docs and it was mine. He threw in the bags and gps. I got a tall seat off of a member on advrider that makes it perfect for my height and inseam. I got 2.5 yrs and 30k left on warranty as bike is only 6 months old.

Hey TABASCO I love the bike. Lots of hi tech but what the Tenere has is all you need. One thing the S10 has is instant fuel mileage. I found the Ten gets about 70mpg cruising 45. But when we filled bikes up after exact distances and speed they got identical mileage.How is your new bike working out ? We need more photos and info !

That is why my next bike is the KTM 1290...it is certainly more fun and for that I accept the potential reliability issues...I cannot accept however a very expensive bike with a fade/a bit boring engine and lot of bells and whistles that I can live without...just saying

Agreed. That's why I was pretty sure I wasn't going to have one. Then I saw that video. . . . and realized why.That means you're already too old for it!

I have ridden several Buel motorcycles. they were a lot of fun. they were also very inconsistent on how they ran and felt. The lower tuned units all ran more the same than the higher tuned units did. I also liked the 900 very well. It was much easier to turn than the 1200s. I would never consider getting rid of my Super T for one but I would like to have one as a play bike just to piddle with. I thought they were very fun to ride. I never rode the ones with the Rotax motor only the sportster motored units.

Here's the article link. It doesn't say who providing the motor. But it's an 1190, so I was wondering if they were use the last gen KTM.

It's an evolution of the Rotax engines that were previously used in Buell bikes.
