Lost is my destination.
Maybe I missed it. Has there been official notice of discontinuation of the S10 in N. America from Yamaha?
From Yamaha . . . . no. But several articles speak of the discontinuation, and several big-name aftermarket suppliers no longer make skid plates or crash bars for her. And we know that the motor won't meet EURO 5 specs.Maybe I missed it. Has there been official notice of discontinuation of the S10 in N. America from Yamaha?
I did the same thing and figured I'd trade it in if a decent refresh were to have hit while also insuring I still had a young one with Y.E.S. going forward. Looks like it was the right move.I bought a new 2021 S10 last November based on the rumored discontinuation of the bike. Yamaha is still selling the exact same color scheme for 2022 in what appears to be an effort to clear them out. It would be great to see an updated S10 or CP3 triple based adventure motorcycle.
That's where the S10 wins out, you don't want a racehorse in the desert, you want a Camel !I did the same thing and figured I'd trade it in if a decent refresh were to have hit while also insuring I still had a young one with Y.E.S. going forward. Looks like it was the right move.
As for a triple, you really want that many moving parts out in the middle of nowhere?
LOL, it would be a YAMAHA triple, not a BENELLI SEI, and I don't think 30 or so extra moving parts, over a twin, is going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back.As for a triple, you really want that many moving parts out in the middle of nowhere?
So you believe that a triple has that many more moving parts? Guess you better get a pull start Briggs and Stratton powered scooter!I did the same thing and figured I'd trade it in if a decent refresh were to have hit while also insuring I still had a young one with Y.E.S. going forward.

Now that would really be something! I would love to have an MT-10I still maintain that IF there is an updated T-12, it will be carried as a Tracer GT. With the MT-10 motor.
To "me", the Tracer + MT 10 motor checks all the boxes: more power, less weight, TFT screen, all the electronic nannies that the R1 has, speed shifter, etc. The current T-12 for most people is more of a GT than a desert crosser. The motor would be wider, but still much narrower than the GS. There wouldn't be all that much of an issue for Yamaha to produce it. They turned the FJ 12 into the FJR which was a much bigger jump.Now that would really be something! I would love to have an MT-10
Absolutely that 7 could be turned into a 9, would make it a serious contender with some refinements to the current T7.Is it possible to up the CC on the T7 engine say 900 ?
The price of the Mandello is 15.999 E and 18.499 E for the S model in Spain.Personally, I'm really intrigued by the new 1200 Tiger, I just don't want to pay what they are asking. Or at the other end, possibly a Guzzi V85TT. If Guzzi does release an adventure version of the new 1,000 cc Mandello engine, I am going to be very interested.
I'll take mine with two humps.That's where the S10 wins out, you don't want a racehorse in the desert, you want a Camel !
Somebody on here posted an article of exactly that. The 900 was "in addition to the 700", and not "instead of". And maybe that's where Yamaha will stop, but I doubt it. Or at least hope not.Is it possible to up the CC on the T7 engine say 900 ?
