The GSA is an amazing bike. It fit me like a glove and had unbelievable wind protection for me. I love the way it looks and rides. I had no problem spending the money on mine and would do it again if I could trust the bike. I watched my bike hauled away on a flatbed in the middle of what still...

Wow, a good ole fashion suspension internet rumble. ::017::

I'll give it another ride and make sure the seat is in the high position. I told the sales guy to put it in the high. He took it off and fuddled with it and maybe put it in low or did nothing.

I always like telling my tale of BMW ownership. I had a 12 BMW. Brother has an 11, buddy had an 09 and buddy at work has an 08, all GSAs. Mine had the main seal in the engine let go at 1800 miles and took the clutch with it. Had the fork seals let go at 400 miles, although the fork seals aren't...

RonH Do your knees push up against the shrouds? I sit forward and it was uncomfortable. I know it can be fixed with money.

Rode the S10 last weekend and didn't seem to fit. My knees were smashed up against the shrouds. What accommodations have the taller folks made for all day comfort? I assume lower pegs, taller windshield and risers. Particularly interested in the leg room. Moore knee room and and good tall...

I would hold on to the extras until the bike sells. The potential buyer will haggle and try and get a lower price for sure. Don't overprice the bike if you want to sell it and don't underprice it unless you are desperate. The extras might fetch you a few hundred, but dealing with the Craigslist...

Appreciate the responses. Thanks

Anyone know of a northern cal dealership with a demo S10? Was going to pick up a left over 13 last weekend, but have never ridden one so backed out. Had a GSA and really loved the wind protection and ability to sit on the bike and ride all day. Thanks folks

Put a deposit on a 13 and will pick it up when I get a ride to the dealership Thursday or Friday. Paying $13,500 OTD and not really worried if I can get better in two months or if the 14 is worlds better. Want to get it and ride it for a couple of years and evaluate if I like it to keep it, up...

Heated gloves made all the difference for me. The top of the fingers and tips stay toasty keeping the blood flowing. Feels 80 degrees on my hands when it is 40.

Carry on every road trip, bike or car. I have no problem with the possibility of having to defend myself in court, but rest assured, I will defend myself and my wife.

Re: Yamaha to actually start promoting the Super Tenere! Funny, Yamaha wants to push this bike pretty hard. I like the aspect of giving customers a network of places to ride, training and parts when considering the purchase. I have a BMW dealership by my house that speaks nothing of ADV...

I was quoted $17,400 otd here in Kalifornia for the 14 ES model.

I am too considering the Super Tenere as my NEXT adv bike. I had a 2012 BMW 1200 Adventure and sold it with 10000 miles on it. I really loved the bike and did ride some decent off road in northern California and the continental divide. I sold it to by a bike for different needs and now want...
