There is an enormous amount of knowledge here so it would be foolish not to ask your opinion. In making a purchase on a Super Tenere, which year, model, etc. to buy? I had it nailed down to a 2012 Super T Non ES due to the price/availability (in my town 2012, 13K miles with upgrades for $7,000); however, reading about the upgrades in the 2014 model it left me wondering. One could go crazy with this decision and I know it can be fitted out perfectly to my own needs with add-ons and such. Yet, being impatient, I prefer to buy a solid Ten with lower miles with upgrades already included like panniers, engine guard, adjustable windshield, skid plate, heated hand grips, ESC and cruise control (maybe).
-ES non ES
-Best year to have for a very long time
-Any specific upgrades to look for/stay away from
-ECU Reflash
Background: I am shorter at 5’8 180lbs and will be riding mostly solo but 2 up a lot on trips and have been riding my current Harley Electra Glide Classic for 13 years and others 10 more years. So, the desire to open my eyes and world toward an incredible machine (Tenere) which does it all is irresistible. I have family in Chile and an adventure there is the end goal.
Thoughts and comments are much appreciated. Until then, I love reading about the knowledge and great experiences you all are having on the Super Ten. I just need a little nudge and insight to start my own adventures. Thank you and Cheers!
