Best adventure ADV motorcycle from yamaha like BMW R1250GS and bmw f850 GS F900GS maybe KTM 890 Adventure R and KTM 1290 Super Adventure R. Stiff competition vs Triumph Tiger 850 sport and Triumph Tiger 1200 adventure motorcycle, even Harley Davidson Pan America.

Took my Super 10 on a 2000 mile solo trip for five days back in August and it was such a treat, across all terrain (minus the wind tunnel of the Golden Gate Bridge, but any bike would have sucked). My S10 has totally spoiled me because whenever I try to find a quicker, lighter or more nimble bike, it has so many shortcomings compared to the S10 for comfort + fuel range + low maintenance, that it's impossible for me to move. I even bought a T7 in July and sold it in August because it felt so underpowered compared to the S10, coupled with a wimpy 150 mile fuel range when cruising at 75+ that it just couldn't compete. I couldn't be happier with my S10.

You might give up a bit of power and tech when compared to bmw and Ktm or even the new Pan America but you can’t beat the reliability and cost of ownership of the Super Tenere. Older platform but tried and true.

I have owned alot of different bikes from high performance to touring and off road. But when I bought a super tenere I had the most fun with it. Most comfortable bike I had ridden. Great low to mid range which you can have fun without the speeding tickets, you sit really high on this bike so visibility was orsm you can see everything going around you. Yeah she is big and heavy but if your a big fella like me 6.2 120kgs it’s a great bike. Handles the twistie’s really well and great distance machine. Most importantly it won’t break the bank like a bmw. I live in Australia and in the outback nearly all the bike dealerships are Yamaha or Honda because that’s what the farmers buy, so if you do break something on a tour you know you can get that part and for half the cost of a bmw. Also first shaft drive bike I have owned and gotta say will never go back to chain drive. Don’t compare it to a sports bike. It’s a tractor it will pull tree stumps out low end which is what enduro’s are designed for I just wish Yamaha would update it as she is showing her age lacking the tech of the newer enduro tourers on the market

[gryphongryph]

Very nice video, so hope that Yamaha will release a new one soon, lose some weight but don’t lose the shaft drive, a lot of buyers are waiting Yamaha!!!!

[redbear]

Watched your rpm's they below mid all the time when you ride:))I do not know what do you consider fast bike but with exoust and flash this bike is a rocket in mid range . Put it in sport mode, touring is for dirt and rain. Second gear wide open, you have to hold on tide, she pulls great.

[Chance-ryhq]

I have a 2020 Super Tenere. It has plenty of power, and there is a big difference between Touring mode and Sport mode. It’s not a sport bike, it is a touring bike you can take off road.

The S10 needs to be remapped to get the next 20 horses it has inside. They are there, but EPA, you know, to unleash them requires a remap.

[brotherbrenden]

I took 1 for a test ride and loved it. Then I brought it and went out to gravel roads that my sport bike couldn't and had a blast.
Blasting out of corners using traction control is so much fun in gravel.
What a bike.

[howarddrakeford]

I'm enjoying my new to me 2013 S10! With a McCruise on it, it's awesome! I keep mine in sport mode!

[jarek]

Its very simple with this bike is awesome motorcycle I take driveshaft over 150 hp for long distance at any day and yes there is Yamaha reliability and many more. Just awesome bike.

[chrismcallister]

The xt 1200 isn't an r6....it doesn't like or need high rev's... it's all about the low and middle grunt :)

[travelinben]

Practical, affordable, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing as adventure bikes go.I hope 2021's become available in the U.S.

[kurtismotif]

I saw your underwhelm awhile ago and it concerned me a little, I just watched this guy smoke a KTM 1290S up to 5th gear and it pulled away at about 120 miles an hour, grip it and rip it Im sure its fine.

[StrUpSavage]

I think youre shifting before the bike even enters the powerband.

[jvman]

Long shift throw is due to off-road capability. Keeps the gear from being shifted if the shifter is bumped or bouncing heavy during off-road riding

[jvman]

If your not feeling the power then you have it in touring mode, flip the mode switch to put you in sport mode

I'm picking up a 2015 S10 ES with only 7k miles and a bunch of upgrades one of which is a Yoshimura RS4 slip on - I'm in north DFW and it's in Austin. Getting a ride down there and going to back road it home!! Can't wait!!

[gregorywills]

The power seems comparable (and a bit better) than my old ST1100. Being 50 pounds lighter than the ST also will help. This is going to be my next bike. Heading out today to look at one.

[andrewhlnojos]

Img plenty happy with the stock traded my fz 09 for my tenere...👍

[digitalmike]

Ryan F9 is spot on about this bike, just an FYI.
