I've been lurking here for a while but bit the bullet and joined the fray. I picked up a new White 2013 on Saturday.

I was coming home from the dealer and goosed the throttle a bit leaving a stoplight....next thing I know I was riding a unicycle! I was not expecting that sort of power. Coming from a DL650 and that doesn't happen unless you really try. Otherwise a very easy transition. It seems to do things effortlessly. My very first Yam...I'm a believer! ::022::

welcome.
You're in the ideal riding area. Lucky.
Yes coming from a 650 it will impress no doubt. Give it time, and it will truly shine

Thanks for the kind words and introductions everyone.

This forum helped me come to my decision to purchase the S10 over the new 1200 GS, Triumph Explorer or waiting for the new DL1000.
