    Original Yamaha Tank pad and worldcrosser Decals wanted

    Hey Everyone, I have been wanting to buy the original tank pad that is a look alike to the Dakar rally logo. I checked multiple Yamaha websites and I cant seem to find an option to buy it online. I am in UAE, Dubai and hence the store here does not have the stock. I can place a special request...

    Your best mileage/MPG?

    The best I got on my bike is 19 kmpl. I seldom get a chance to ride long hours. If I rode for more than two hours, is be on the border to another country; Saudi or Oman. This seems pretty decent fuel consumption for the hot weather here. Since the weather is pleasant at the moment- 18-30°c I get...

    Royal Enfield Adventure Bike

    Me being an Indian wouldn't go for it knowing that Enfield engines are outdated, way back in time. But one thing for sure, many in my country swear by it and surely will do well in sales even though waiting period would set you back by 4-6 months for sure. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Best Aux lights

    I have been looking at this thread closely knowing that I need additional lights for the bike. The stock lights are just not enough in the low beam. I will have to either change the bulbs of the stock headlights to get more light or add an aux light. I will be first changing the main headlight...

    How long is your test ride ?

    All you guys who got a test ride are pretty lucky! Here in Dubai, you have no test rides for the Super tenere. Maybe because they don't have too much sales on this model or they aren't interested in this bike! The competition does give test ride options, GS, Tiger, KTMs but not the Yamaha. I...

    Black S10 my gift from wifey ;-)

    THank you Eric! Never knew about the motoman. Thanks for sharing the good things :) I think I already did that, since the guy at Yamaha told me to do that after the first 15kms. He told me to ride at high speeds for short distances and slow down rapidly, although not try a stoppie or wheelie...

    Black S10 my gift from wifey ;-)

    Amen! We are a lucky having made the right choices :) Yup, I already feel the love for the bike and its difficult to part, even though its a few hours. Yes, my wife loves bikes and unfortunately she isnt really happy with the height of the rider's seat, she is 5.4 feet tall and is feeling...

    Black S10 my gift from wifey ;-)

    Thanks everyone for the advice and wishes! Yup, I have read that! I am already very happy with the wheels, and I seem to like the S Mode better. Though this is my first high power bike, I am happy that I can manage it for my daily use. The summers are closing here, and I am talking 45-50c...

    Black S10 my gift from wifey ;-)

    I finally managed to get the last available Super Tenere in UAE from 2014 stable. I had my eyes on her ever since I walked into the showroom from an R1. And its been on my mind since August 14'. Watching the review videos, reading articles, going through forums all the while got my wife mad at...

    S10 from Dubai

    Lol, Mumbai is far better than Bangalore and thats where I rode for 8 years! Well, I wouldnt mind soft luggage, but the problem would be when I have to carry a laptop, or my clothes to work or want to change my shoe and maybe keep the helmet. I know Dubai is safe in terms of theft, but I do not...

    S10 from Dubai

    Hello! I am new to this forum, from Dubai, UAE. I have always wanted to own a good motorbike, and affording one in Dubai is easy. Almost 0% taxes, fuel is cheaper than water and loans are easily available. I've always wanted a fast bike and the R1 was always my dream and will still dream...
