A complete 180 as far as the type of bike.. I actually had a 2015 Yamaha Super Tenere, I won't say its like the 1200GS casue someone might delete my forum account
I'm a big guy, 6'4" 280lb so the Tenere appealed to me and at the time I was in no place to drop a ton of money on a GS. I liked my Tenere, but I could never get a good ride with it, 30min and my back was really hurting. Even did risers, seats, pegs, never could get it right. That and the engine breaking was just god awfully abrupt.
I went out today and road about 100 miles messing around. The exhaust note on this thing is amazing, I normally grandpaw my bikes hardly get over 4k RPM, but now this thing is ridding at 6 or 7
Also discovered that doing such in 6th gear means you are driving at 120mph lol I swear it felt like I was doing 50 in my truck, amazing ride... Tenere I would know how fast I was going, this bike the only way to know is to look at the speedo
It already has basically everything on it, but I'm really missing my tankbag and topbox....
Posted a pic of the Tenere, hopefully a Yamaha bike won't break the forum. Its in the same location, love taking pics at that spot.
