Welcome
I too came off a Buell but mine was the Firebolt. It's hard to really compare the engines as they are totally different. Personally I like the Buell engine better for balls out grunt but it's hard to live with day to day unless you ride it hard everywhere. The S10 for me is a better all...
I rode my mates Tiger 800xc which I thought was the best bike I have ever riden (maybe it still is) but I didn't buy one!! the reason is that I think it's wasn't the best bike for me, the S10 won but the Tiger is still 1 hell of a bike.
The problem I see is that too many people listen to the...
Thanks for your reply Eric
I guess I need to work out what I'm going to do. I have only just got the bike in the last few weeks and starting to set it up. I recently lost my job so things are on hold a little but I am in the planning and pricing stage.
Thanks again for your reply it gives me...
I will admit I haven't read all the pages but I would like to know if anyone has a full set of these in Australia and what it would cost to get a set out here. I have to say they look to be the best out there so yer I guess the question is how much Approx and how long to get a set from time of...
why not contact Yamaha here in Australia we have all that on ours, I'm sure other countries have it too. Couldn't be to hard to buy and fit
just my 2cents

Hey Ridge
I have just brought an S10 a few weeks ago, I rode my first one about 3 months ago for a short test ride and hated it. It was a demo bike that had about 10500kms on it and all the fruit but it had a very hard life. It was not pretty and poorly setup. Having spent a few hours on a tiger...
Also did the clutch mod and had a crack with the TC off all it did was stand on it's ass down the street..... Pretty impressive for a big bike I thought
Had a good day today I went for a ride picked up some better headlight globes and front parker globes when home to change them and got bogged in the driveway 3 times :))
Also had my stepson on his Bandit behind me bogged to the balls. It's been pretty wet here and we got sick of sitting around...
I ordered some wind defectors and when I got home I attended to the small issue of the blinkers being to bright at night.
I went all out and wrapped the edge with electrical tape to see if that works if it does I will look into something more permanent
Cheers

Thanks for the warm welcome guys
Well as X-box would know it is still raining here and driving me insane but it's only little rain so no flooding so I can get out and ride if I really want to. I'm not one to shy away from a bit of water in fact I do enjoy it at times I even rode my Buell through...
Well i finally happened. I have been lurking here and a few other places trying to work out which bike to buy, like a lot of people the BMW and Triumph were on the list. I even thought about the tiger 800xc as a mate has one and he was good enough to let me ride it for a few hours to see what I...
