    R1200GS - got to ride one today!

    Tenere at local dealer

    So strange. I asked the sales guy flat out "How can you expect me to lay down $18K on a bike I've never ridden?" His response was: "We'll let you take it around the block once the deal is written" He told me that Yamaha owns the bikes. A Yamaha rep comes around to check the mileage on the new...

    Front and rear Spring Upgrades for heavier riders?

    Reading this thread with interest. I'm not yet an owner but I'm interested in how the S10 is sprung for solo and two-up. I commute solo and ride two up on weekends. If the bike is sprung for two up won't it be oversprung when I'm solo? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What is this for?

    Looks like the rubber pad isn't there on yours. Also: is only the rear half of your final drive painted black? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
