Ever sell a bike and realize you made a big mistake in doing so, later on?
After having my 2014 Super Tenere ES for 4 years and 50k miles, I got weak and some of the new and exciting elements to the R1200GSA got to me. I bought one in March of 2018 and have put about 10k on it since then. I sold my Super Tenere at that time and have regretted doing so ever since.
I'm honestly having significant thoughts about selling the GSA and going back to the Super Tenere. Would probably get a new 2019 and outfit it just like I had my old one.
After a year on the GSA, I've come to realize that the Tenere was a better fit for me. Ergonomics, height, comfort, ease of maintenance, reliability and more all feed into that. Ultimately, the Tenere just fit me like a bike custom made for me. The GSA is higher and less comfortable for me, at 5'9".
I am not sure if I'm going to make the switch yet, but it seems more likely to happen with each week that passes.
For anyone thinking of going after something new, really think about it. The Super Tenere is one darn fine motorcycle and I frankly think it is the finest engineered all rounder on the market.
