Hello everyone,
I've been reading posts on this forum for over a year now.
Finally sold my Aprilia and am in the market for a new steed.
The Yamaha Super Tenere is in the top 3 of my list, along with a BMW r1200gs and Suzuki v strom 1000 (2014+ models). The new AT is an attractive package, but not with tubed tires.
I'm definitely leaning toward the S10 and pulling the trigger in the next week or two. I definitely believe that with cruise and shaft, it's worth the extra $$$ over a heavily discounted 2014 V2.
Just am not sure now if I should go with the 2015 ES or standard model - about $1500 difference from the vendor most convenient for me to purchase from. Understand the benefits of the ES - probably very beneficial for the varying riding conditions I encounter on a weekly basis. But, this is a bike I plan on keeping for the long haul, so am wondering about future suspension replacements and general reliability/costs.
Looking forward to learning more of this friendly community/forum, and hopefully contribute to it as well.
