Hi

Hi. My name's Trent. I had and sold a s10 but am looking to buy another one. Hoping to get an es post 14 model with the cruise control. That's the hope!!

I suppose I do have a question which I'm sure has been answered a couple of hundred times but here it goes...

I had a 2017 Super Tenere. It was the non es model.

Now I see a lot of the gen 1 bikes for sale at a much lower price, like 4k less for similar mileage but different gens. I bought the gen 2 because I had read of the differences between the two and felt like the gen 2 was worth the differences. I liked my bike for many things, including the linked brakes and cruise control which I don't hear get mentioned that often in the forums. So now as I search for another bike is it worth the extra 3-4k for the gen 2?

Thanks

Linked brakes are nice... but CC is very important to me if I plan on going on long trips. If just doing around town or 100 miles one way or the occasional 300 mile day... then I wouldn't care about CC.

a simple hello, teaton...

Ha!! Bet you would. I've never done a 100mi day on this bike. And I use cruise every day.

You lose! as I don't engage my custom cruise on my CBR 1100XX or any bike unless I am droning the miles out. Otherwise I am on back roads, traffic or going to town... where I don't use CC. The ST1300A doesn't have CC and I don't bat an eye taking it out on a 300 mile day. My butt doesn’t like a 300 mile day on that so much... butt I can make it out to Idaho in 2 days and it's 1400 miles. No big deal and no CC. CC for me is droning down the hwy. I rode for years without it. I prefer it and when I have a choice I get a bike with it as I ride away on long trips. If you don't and don't need to spend 4,000 more don't let that be a deal breaker.

I loved the cruise too. Made long stretches so much nicer than locking in the grip...

And safer. Deactivates with either brake or the clutch lever.

Also if you decelerate on the gas. I just learned that.

That's my normal disengagement.
