Welcome, from Texas. She only feels 584lbs when she's takes a nap. Seriously, as soon as she starts rolling, she feels 100 lbs lighter. Carries her weight very well. (better than a KLR)

I'm 5'7" and 160 lbs. I took had been only looking at middle weight bikes but really wanted shaft drive and less bells and whistles. I test rode a ST and bought it right away. Doesn't feel heavy at all even when sitting on it or navigating slowly. Like anything though... lifting it from a drop you will feel it. Also worth noting, I test rode mine with a 100lbs passenger too.

Well, long story short, I pulled the trigger on a new 2023 Super Tenere today. Did a ton of research and test rode a lot of bikes the last month or so, but the S-10 grabbed my soul by the balls. Long day. Tuckered out. More to come.
