ive had two Tenere's here in Ireland, and enjoyed them immensley. Been probably 5 yrs or so since i owned one. Bought my first one new in 2012. Loved them both, got them flashed, rode through fairly hairy storms over the years, water logged roads etc, and unreal winds, never let me down and it...

If you really want a Honda NC buy the newer second gen 750 from 2014 on. It comes with DCT so no gears and offers great mpg. ( The current gen NC's look terrible imo ). A versys 650 / vstrom etc will do the job nicely. Something a little taller in the xt660 tenere too. 1200's are great, but...

Anyone watch the presentation ? Wtf. Sh!t stage , pure rubbish , when you consider what Ducati done yesterday with video/ stage / lighting / excitement etc ! So really yamaha have nothing new to shout about. 1.5hrs of european board room massage ego power point mind numbing brain saturation...

2019 model previews are available from 1800 CET zone today via yamaha europe facebook page see here: https://www.facebook.com/YamahaMotorEU/ 50/50 myself, whether they will revise the S10 or not.

Ive reviewed this article, and quite well put together and documented. This is part 1, so its to be completed as of yet will be itersting to see the final outcome The S10 is fairing out well, the score is a little light imo - considering one of the gripes re engine note... here is the link...

dont wait just do it, lowball a dealer or two, if they dont play, walk away. ive been buying bikes in the UK for a while now, for myself i might add . importing back is a little hassle, but in general uk bikes are in better shape than ones here. UK dealers are going to price themselves out of...

to be honest, i have been thinking a lot aboput this. Only back from europe n the bike, so spent a lot of time on twisty roads and messing with the suspension etc My real issue is not the weight as such, but its the weight being up high. I was looking at the bike and trying to fugre who to...

has to be a loose connection (?). i had an issue recently with the bike stuttering while riding. turned out the connect for the right swtich gear on the bar ( behind battery ) had worked loose - really really odd, considering it snaps shut and is a tight fix - the block connector. take your...

i must check mine, im noticing the "click" on harsh / sharp bumps, but bike handles fine in twisty / hard turns etc, even when being pushed on. will report back this week or next.

i found a couple of the comments amusing re riding ability...;) anyway....................... just back from an 8 day trip through austria, germany and switzerland., the super 10 was flawless, as you'd expect. We went for twisty roads, up and down passes, the whole shooting match., Biking...

some interesting replies..... i do no argue the s10 isnt a great bike.... im just looking for a little more. Its super planted, super smooth but a tweak here and there would do no harm. Beemw are set to launch a new 1250 gs for 2019, so yamaha really need to stay in the running. It has a...

Just wondering has anyone heard anything re a model update for the super 10 for 2019 ? the lest few updates were minor and not really a leap forward, more refinement. id suspect we should be due a new bike now ? Even shave of 25 kgs would be great, and not impossible.

poor show by yamaha, im disappointed... hopefully they have a lighter but still as robust model on the way with a few styling tweeks. the worst thing about this bike is the rear end where the exhaust and shroud are, it looks sh1t imo.

im using current A40 on my S10. only a thousand kms or so into them. I like em. Ppl give them a hard time, but if you ride hard the tyre is a lot stiffer then say a PR4. The A40 i would say is for mroe spirited riding. Not too noisy. i do like them. Turning / leaning is ok, as tyre is stiff...

that fjr is stunning !
