Currently own a 2003 GSA, love it but thinking of throwing my leg over something different. So just testing the waters as most know the purchase of a new bike can take some time.
Having a stickybeak. Qld Australia.

Hi. Love the expression "stickybeak" - haven't heard it for a while
Welcome aboard.
There've been a number of GS/GSA people move to the Tenere and I'm sure some will post up soon. But with the fact the bike is largely still what was delivered first in 2010, just about every possible "what about" and tech question has been answered.
Search is your friend.

Is it starting again?

Do it. Going from the GS to the S10 is like going from the stuck up hottie who always has a “headache” to the girl next door that doesnt think twice about it.. I know I learned my lesson

So as I have only been looking at a Tenere for a short time, I see the biggest dilemma is what model to buy. I will buy brand new, but I am reading a lot about possible next model. 2020, 2021 or 2022? I live in Australia so things happen here later than other countries.

Hi Stefan, I did own a 18s, 1951. but it is one of my biggest regrets I had to sell it.

Stefan, thank you for sharing. That is absolutely amazing. I hope it lives in the living room.
It has got a warm and dry spot. And occasionally I ride it, she go’s pretty well. But not an easy ride, lot of things to think about whilst riding. Like ignition timing, fuel mixture and manually pumping oil. But I love it!

@ajs18s - Welcome to the forum. Please take a minute to add your location to your profile. Down the road it will give context to your posts and others won't need to ask where you are in the world. Helps others give you better answers too.
I had a '16 GSA and a '15 Super Ten in the garage at the same time for a few years. Different flavors. The '03 GSA being an oilhead was perhaps less fussy than the '16 we had. I think you'll find the Super Ten quite to your liking if you enjoy your GSA. A bike that just does everything well w/o fuss or complaint. I suspect we won't see any changes for 2022. The Yamaha joke is we only get BNG each year. (Bold New Graphics) Yamaha likes to go a good ten years before doing a major update.

Treat yourself to a new Africa Twin, DCT if you like...I'm in Canada and bought a new 2020 Africa Twin DCT November last....and have never looked back. BTW...AU and NZ are both Stellar Countries, if only I were a little younger, I'd be there in a flash!
Now then, back to bikes...I had a 2016 Africa Twin clutch model, 30,000 km in two seasons, then, a Super Tenere for two seasons 43,500 kms. And now a 2020 Africa Twin DCT, 7,500 km so far.
I'm older (71) so me hands don't like clutching like they used to
.Hopefully I'll return to the "down under" part of the world soon.

Oh not necessarily. I was on vacation in NZ in early early 2020, Christchurch I believe, and saw me first T700.
Canada...not until sometime later......
