I’m a current owner of a 2007 Yamaha FJR It’s a great bike. I went from Chicago to Alaska one year and Newfoundland the other and many other places in-between. I have over 43K miles on it. I have it with a Wilbers rear shock, Model 640.
Overall, a great bike. And it’s perfect for two up.
But, there were many roads in Alaska, Utah, California, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia that I was not able to take and visit those difficult to get destination’s, because FJR is not designed for all roads. So, I’m looking at SuperTenere. I was hoping to test ride a Super Tenere, but not one dealer in Chicago area offers demo rides. BMW offers demo rides? I did test ride a 2012 GS. Nice bike, but I also want to look at Tenere.
So, here are my questions:
1 – Some of you refer to Super Tenere as “S10”. What is S10?
2 – How is Super Tenere with Two-Up? On the FJR, I would do 600-800miles in a day, is Tenere similar in riding position?
Thanks,
