New S10 Rider - Roseville, CA

[HDFlyer76]

Greetings from Roseville, CA. As a late Christmas present to myself I purchased a new 2012 Super Tenere. This bike joins two other road bikes, a Harley Ultra Classic for riding with my wife, and a KLR for trips into the
Sierra's. I thought I would have purchased a BMW GS 1200, but after all the repair issues and then the great reviews on the Yamaha I choose to test ride the Super Tenere. Once I rode the Super T I was sold, seems to handle as well as the BMW and I trust the Yamaha reliability much better than the BMW.

So now it is time to determine the crash bars, skid plate, luggage bags and other items. I already tried the clutch mode via a fuse in the switch, boy what a difference. Looking like that little fuse is there to stay.

I really enjoyed my KLR, it only needed more power and better brakes, both of which are on the Super T. I can't wait fr better weather to get out and experience to Super T at its best.

Welcome on, Mark from northern California. Welcome to the world of Tenere. Comparing your KLR and your Tenere would be kind of like comparing a cap pistol and a .44 mag. Sort of. You're gonna love it. It's an awesome machine. Congrats on the new bike, and ::004:: to the Forum. R. ::022::

Welcome from Sacramento Mark. Sounds like you are the right path. Searching and reading should grow your knowledge. Changing your suspension settings is a freebie and you will like the improvement.

The NorCal riders need to get a day ride happening soon.

Hi Mark and greetings from D.C. Good work picking out a Tenere . I rode KLR for several years and 8900 miles on one trip. Loved it, made it go where it wasn't supposed to go and had a lot of fun. The Tenere is even better and I keep smiling a lot while riding around. Enjoy! !!

Glad to know that there is a resource so close. Let me know when you do another Tech day, I will try to stop by. Really looking forward to learning from the more experienced riders about the Tenere.
