Well, I am 1000 miles into my first big trip on my (new to me), Super Ten, so that’s halfway for this trip around Holland, Germany and a little bit of Poland.
When I bought my Super Ten two months ago, I tried the S and T modes and decided that I preferred the S mode. However, on the second day of this trip, for some reason I thought that I would give the T mode a try. Initially, it felt a little like riding through treacle, or molasses if you are in North America, but I persisted and it all clicked into place.
The T mode is really suitable for touring, you know, where you amble along enjoying the ride and the views but it still has the get up and go when you need it, although I will add that I have found down-changing a gear or two helps if you need a rapid overtake, whereas the S mode has a much more instant effect when you twist the grip.
All in all, I am enjoying the Super Ten, (mine is a 2017 Gen 2), it is smooth and yet you always know that you have a motorcycle engine underneath you that has that lovely mechanical feel that you just don’t get from an in-line multi- cylinder motorcycle.
