In the crate and watched it unloaded off the truck. so far it appears perfect. Has Metzler tires on it. Took a pic but can't figure out how to get off my iphone onto photobucket account.

Can pick it up today if I wanted too may do that. They were beginning to assemble it when I left.

lol I had to go back to work. But rest easy it is in good hands with TWO Yamaha reps standing guard. ;) One rep has one on order and said he would get his after we all got ours.

thats your yamaha dealers prep area? ???
Yep but I am not too concerned because there is a Yamaha tech rep here assisting the assembly guy. I chatted with him earlier real knowledgeable guy. You should see the rest of the shop it's full of 4 wheelers.

Wait until you see my shop later it's more like a ER room.

Are they the Metzler Tourance or Tourance EXP? Great pics by the way. It must feel great to be the first American with a Tenere.
EXP's are on it yes it feels great I can't explain it really. It;s almost like a dream.

So far all is good. I really am liking the fit and finish, its really good. Felt a little buffeting with the screen in the low position but nothing terrible. It had some low idle issue at one stop but corrected itself after a stab of the throttle. You can really feel a difference in T and S mode. I like the dash layout very easy to use. It's pretty tall even in low seat position and I am at 5'9" 29" inseam. Not a worry point though I've had taller bikes. The weight is hidden pretty good. The bars are wide!! Shaft drive feels strange to me after years of chain drive bikes it does have a little lift in the back when shifting. Shifting is smooth and clutch operation is not hard, felt good. I really cannot say anything bad at this point other than the kickstand seems a bit straight down and easy to tip off the lock angle. Centerstand works pretty good but again it would not take much to push it forward with the straight up angle. It's a keeper so far!!

No doubt it's an unreal feeling to be a part of all this. I am so glad I stuck it out. Headed to get a tag on it tomorrow, insured it today before I left the lot with it. Bags here by friday I hope so it will only get better. And as far as I know I am the only individual who has one in Mississippi, a dealer down south of here ordered one for himself so I heard.

Well, I envy you having ... what ? ... at least 4 more months of riding? I have one.


So get going ... you don't want to miss a sip of all the fun you're gonna have. Let's be careful out there. R
