Hello Sports Fans! Yamadog here, checking in from Alabama. I will most likely just lurk the forums for a while as my main reason for joining is to learn what I need to get up to speed on the S10. I am test-riding one later today but I suspect it will be like the single file mule ride in the Grand Canyon...no individual initiative allowed : I have used this handle on numerous forums since my beloved 2001 FZ1. If I buy the S10 I will be asking it to be a platform that my wife will find confidence-inspiring and comfortable for 400 mile days in the mountains. Any off road adventures will be strictly 1 up riding. I currently own a Kawasaki Versys that I liked much better when it had 2 other stablemates (VT1100 Superhawk & K1200LT). I dont forsee using the S10 for anything more severe than say, the dirt roads in Monument Valley and the like. No superslab and lots of tertiary roads are my briar-patch.
