Very nice, RicoChet, congrats. But now you're going to have to get a new helmet to match the bike! ::025::

You are right. I told my wife that I have the right to as many helmets as she has as many shoes in my house!!

It's a used bike that was available at Barrie Honda. Has 18k on it but done up with crash bars, bags, aftermarket windscreen, fog lamps and a 4 year extended warranty on it still for a ridiculous price. The sales guy was great to deal with too.

I was definitely looking for an ES model that was fairly local and it fit the bill. It does actually have some cosmetic damage like a scraped decal and scratches here and there but nothing I would lose a deal over.

Can't wait for spring!

Congrats on the new bike, I am sure that you will like and enjoy it. I bought a '16 earlier and have about 9000 miles on it, everything from some dirt roads to a 3300 mile trip - it is
a great bike.

 

[RicoChet]

As usual, I bought it just in time for the harsh winter weather!! as I always do every year to get the best deal...

Congrats, I was wondering just the other day if you picked one up.

My Friend if it wasn't for you, and your generosity to allow me, a perfect stranger to come into your home and take your baby for a ride.. I wouldn't of been convinced this was a great machine!! Your bike had people giving me the Thumbs up on the side of the road while I took pictures and when I hit the construction area I had a smille as wide as my face at how much fun I was having. Thank you!!

Your welcome and glad I could help.

Re: New Owner!! 2016 Super Tenere ES/replace shaft drive guard....

You will like this bike a lot. I have a 2014 ES and could not be happier. I have approximately 25,000 miles on it and it has worked perfectly. You do need to get the replacement drive shaft bracket from Alt Rider. I caught my pant leg on it and fell over. If you go to the Alt Rider site and look at it you will understand what I am saying. The one from the company is simply a piece of thin metal that goes straight up and down. The Alt Rider bracket makes it impossible to catch you pant leg on it.
Several people, on this site, have had the same problem. I fell over and broke my shoulder.

Besides that...the rest of the bike is...wonderful!
Enjoy it!

Is this the part your talking about?

 

[murdock2002]

That is it...bought that as well... The u-joint guard. Very functional and well-built.
