The next chapter...KTM Super Adventure S

[Sierra1]

Wow....have yet to see anyone on here "trying to convince you that your Tenere is out of date and you need to ride the same bike they do". Maybe I missed it? . . . .

Nah, there's been plenty on here talking about how out of date the T-12 is. Not so many trying to convince us to jump ship, just that they want the T-12 updated. I personally don't want, or need, anything changed on her.

The way the brakes/ suspension/ chassis works together on the Yamaha is pretty good. It's very ride-able. But no bike is perfect, so I need a KLR. A beat up one

Don't believe I have said anything bad of the S10. Owned 2 and enjoyed them. I like my KTM. I don't care what anyone else rides and don't expect anyone to like a bike just because I do. Being as my views have offended some I believe it best if I take a leave from the forum. Over and out (which I know is incorrect radio jargon)

Make it a short leave. If my 890 doesn't wow me I'm planning to beat you (verbally) about the head and shoulders. I need you here for that.

I'm not going anywhere. Met too many people from this board. You're all stuck seeing my threads appear here from time to time...and yes, some of them will include my experiences with bikes that aren't the Tenere.

Last time I checked the title to this web site was still "Yamaha Super Tenere" and until Venture changes the title it would be nice if users still remember that.
I sure don't want to see riders no longer on here just because they ride another brand, that's their loss. I for one still believe that the Super Tenere is still worthy of the "Super" in its name and is still the best all-around, do everything, big Adventure bike on the road today.
Look at riders like "Big Bob", he has moved on to another bike, but I don't see him on here saying the Tenere is out of date, and we should all be riding Ventures.
TNWalker is another great example, He has moved on to many different bikes and gave us good opinions of some of them bikes, but I haven't seen him trying to convince me that my Tenere is out of date and I need to ride the same bike he does.
If some day, I'm the last rider to still be riding my Super Teneres and everyone else has moved on to inferior bikes, I'll still be trying to convince others just how awesome a bike it is. But not on a KTM , Triumph, Or BMW forum. Hopefully still here on the "SUPER TENERE FORUM"

There are a number of subjects to unpack here.

"...the title to this web site was still "Yamaha Super Tenere" and until Venture changes the title it would be nice if users still remember that."
Yes, this is - and is going to continue - to be the Super Tenere forum.
HOWEVER, notice that this sub-forum is titled "Other Bikes" so this discussion is being held in the place we created just for it. Game on in this section. Still glad you are here but feel free to not click on this thread if it bothers you so much.

Glad you still feel "I for one still believe that the Super Tenere is still worthy of the "Super" in its name and is still the best all-around, do everything, big Adventure bike on the road today."
HOWEVER, there's a spectrum to what OTHER people feel and that is fine too. Nobody is forcing their opinion on others and nobody should feel intimidated or feel like they need to shut up and hold back because "it's not the right forum." I don't really care what others want to ride, be it a Super Tenere to a beat old Honda 750, and I DO appreciate them being honest in sharing their opinion, just like you are.

"I don't see him on here saying the Tenere is out of date, ..."
I am one of those who believes the Super Ten is a great bike and am still riding it BUT it is outdated because it is no longer 2010 and even 2014 is now 9 years ago while life does keep moving. By comparison she is heavy, down on horsepower, and just plain lacking a number of the now standard features newer bikes have. The Tenere still delivers a LOT without breaking the bank and there's a lot to be said for that too, but it doesn't mean it is not out of date in relative design.
fwiw - Notice that I've kept MY opinion on this in the "Other Bikes" sub-forum.

..."and we should all be riding Ventures."
This statement irks me because I've seen NOBODY trying to tell others what they should be riding, especially if the Super Tenere still meets what they want from it. That's something that only you (so far anyway) seem to take as an implied message.

Finally, while Dirt_Dad, Don, thughes317, big bob, and a number of others have changed bikes and stuck around, I am really glad they remain because this place has become family.

Congratulations, It looks so awesome and fantastic. This is damn good and just look at the engine. Bro I am jealous now. This gives you wings while riding the motorcycle.
