2012 Yamaha Super Tenere'
Posted: Thu Mar 20, 2014 10:46 amBike has been ridden by and OLD retired guy... so it certainly hasn't been ridden hard or anything.
It ONLY has 61,000 miles but they were easy miles...
It is my plan to buy the new 2014 Super Tenere' ES... transfer most of the accessories off my bike to the new one and sell the 2012. I'm really intrigued by the changes they made in 2014.
I will be leaving the trunk and rear rack, I'll probably leave the FZ-1 Fuse block, the Freeway blaster horns, I will leave the dash and the two Powerlet outlets. I'll put the stock skid plate on.
It will be interesting to have both bikes at the same time while I transfer the saddle bags etc to the new bike.
Not sure when this will happen just yet as I'm kind of waiting to see what Chris Jernigan is going to buy to replace his totaled Tenere'. He seems bound and determined to buy a new bike and he IS a shopper! We test road the 2014 KTM 1190 Adventure R and the 2014 BMW GS water head with the ES last Saturday. They didn't have a demo KTM 1190 Adventure and the R model is a different bike. Both bike are very powerful and have great brakes. The KTM is amazing but has very poor low speed fueling and the heat will cook your nuts! The GS is so refined... an excellent motorcycle. Did I mention that the KTM has soooo much power!! WOW!! ZOOOOOMMMMM!!!!
Anyway I posting my Super T for sale here in case anyone is interested. I think I can get $10,000 for it and will probably take it to http://www.bubbasbikebarn.com/ where I sold my FJR.
