When you say, it won't beat a Gold Wing on a long haul road trip. What do you mean? In terms of comfort, fuel consumption?Really? I am very surprised by this reply. When you say “mileage”, do you mean fuel consumption or the sheer number of miles passing under your wheels? Here in UK and Europe, the national speed limits are between 70mph and 83mph, (130kph), apart from a few autobahns in Germany where, for now at least, you are able to legally exceed 83mph.
For my part, I simply set the cruise control for between 75 and 85mph depending on road, traffic and weather conditions and sit back and enjoy the ride. I really like the FJR and think it is a very accomplished and capable sports tourer, but higher speeds mean increased fuel consumption, increased concentration and less opportunity to simply enjoy the ride, and the ride, surely, is what it’s all about.
The Super Tenere is capable of just about anything you can throw at it, 1-up, 2-up, loaded with luggage or simply ridden for the hell of it, it can do it all. No, it will never beat a 180bhp sports bike around a track or a Gold Wing on a long haul road trip, but it will do a track day or a road trip with ease and some degree of comfort and on your way from A to B, you will be glad you chose your S10.
because right now I do long hauls with my voyager 1700 and i understood that the super tenere was designed for long haul ? I would hate to get one and find i'm very uncomfortable on those 600km/day rides.
