I saw my first Tenere on the road today, A white one parked in Speculator, New York. Folks standing around it and a few other adventure style bikes. I was headed north on my gray one. I really liked the look of the white one.

Well, I got the "Tenere Rain Test" out of the way yesterday. About sixty miles worth, forty of that was a toad strangler. No drama, bike did fine. All went well except my pretty new bike doesn't look like it rolled off the showroom floor anymore. Going in for the 600 mile service Thursday...

Alrighty then, Having just brought my new 2013 S10 home on Thursday. I will need this thread closed ASAP. Not wanting to look at another tempting Tenere type bike for quite a while, thank you. Although I would have bought the 660T if it were available here. Probably the best solution would...

Well, the new Beastie came home today. First 90 miles went well!

Not sure of the number. I think H58 near Munising, great road!

Thanks man, I'm pretty stoked, I have been chasing this bike since it's inception.

Yes, it was costly, most of the expense comes from the servo brake system flush. I looked up the parts to do It myself. Total parts came to $87.00 my cost. The rest is labor. Servo brake flush, valve adjust, final drive oil, engine oil, air filter, and so on. That was really slowed me down...

Well Gang, thanks for the feedback. I made the switch today, from the Blue and White Propeller to the Silver Tuning Fork! I cut a deal today on a new 2013 Silver/Gray Tenere, After some chatting and number crunching, I took the Tenere for a forty mile test ride. To be fair, the new 1200GSWC...

Thanks for the list. Just got back from the U.P. yesterday. Or I might have tried to get down to Americade. 600 miles in the rain is enough for a few days.

I posted this over on ADV, but thought I'd go right to the source!! Alright Super Tenere folks, I am in the market for a new Big Dirt Pig, Been on a R1150RS for a while! And while great on the road, I'm in the market for something a little dirt worthy. Have had the hots for the Big T since...

Having owned a R100GS, a R1200GS and a F800GS. I feel somewhat qualified to comment on this. I would not call them $hit. Actually, I would call them stellar machines. Myself, I'm not a huge fan of the 1200 series. It has crossed a technical threshold, that at the moment I don't want to cross...

Thanks for the info on the bikes guys. From where I live I can just about throw a baseball into Canada. I'm about 7 hours from NYC. I actually found one in Plattsburgh. It's at a Harley/Metric dealer combined. Anybody know anything about them? North End Harley (formerly Lake City Harley). It's...

Well, the delivery dates got pushed too far back for me to wait. I had a cross country trip planned. So I went in a different direction. That being said. I'm still in the hunt for a Tenere. I stopped and looked at one the other day and it still impresses me. Judging by the feedback here and on...

Well after much thought I do believe I'm going to stick out the wait. I went back and forth on this. But after receiving my letter from Yamaha letting me off the hook. I have decided to hang in there for the Super Ten. Having seen it and sat on it in person. I have to believe it is still the...

I wonder what a set of black Gobis a-la KTM would look like on this beast?
