Lots of interesting observations and opinions.
I kept the last bike 9 years and only replaced it with the Super Tenere because the S10 was better at what I was doing with the previous bike. That was mostly because I changed what I was doing and was seeking more off pavement potential. I don't see myself replacing the S10 anytime soon.
Whatever Yamaha does, believe it or not, they will eventually make it public. Then we'll know what is available, or not.
Oh, and while I realize it is a real factor for some, I fully intend to use the S10 up. Resale? I hope the bike is just another cheap CL bike for someone that can't afford to spend much, but wants a reliable bike. I got about 30% of the purchase price for the last one after 9 years and 160k of riding it. (Yeah, I know, not counting the farkles that went with it!)
