I've been debating which bike to buy for a while now. GS, explorer or Yam S10. I have been leaning towards the yamaha and I have been checking out the used market. I could stretch to a 2011 model with 5 to 10k miles.
By chance, SWMBO told me that a local yamaha dealer in Northampton was having a one day cost sale. We drove over with the intention of looking for a ride for her, but I spotted a black super tenere in the showroom. As I hadn't tried one for size, a had a sit. It fitted my 6' 2" frame really well. I wouldn't have been able to afford this new bike, but the salesman told me of their one day only price, and it was £2500 under list price on the road. Well it was a bit of a no brainer really. A brand new bike for less than a used one. He gave me a good price on my part ex as well.
I couldn't help it, and ordered the touring pack as well, and was given £600 off of that too. So all in all a saving of £3100 ukp. I am really happy with that.
I am looking to tour Scotland and France this year, as well as many trips to he coast.
I am waiting until 1st March and he new reg letter to pick up the bike. 2 weeks of anticipation :-[
So I will be spending plenty of time on here catching up with all of the info and stories from you guys.
