Today, I rode 40 miles to the Yamaha dealer where I bought my FZ-8. Out front was a demo Super Tenere 1200. The shop owner had a release form waiting for me, along with a route map for a test ride of 20 miles+/- with some single lane dirt road thrown in for good measure. About the bike: 1.) It's heavy on paper and probably if you had to pick it up. Otherwise, the Tenere is a BLAST and rides like it weighs much less. 2.) ABS was not intrusive at all. 3.) I tried out the conservative traction control and it works as advertised. 4.) Cruising along at 60-65mph in high gear, it was indicating over 60mpg! I got it into the teens just for fun, though. LOL 5.) I'm 5'8" with a 30" inseam and had no trouble at stops and was very comfortable while underway - paved or unpaved roads. Would I buy one? If I had the $, YES. In a heartbeat. eddie [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Randy, I didn't get it out on a four lane for more than a few minutes. But, according to the dealership owner, the Super Tenere cruises along happily at an indicated 80mph all day. I believe him. It plonked along at any speed I asked of it like a lazy, big single. Albeit a 95h.p.+/- at-the-rear-wheel single with none of the bad vibes. It's addictive. The bike has two throttle modes: Touring and Sport. I left it in touring mode for my trip down the dirt roads and only sampled Sport for a couple of paved miles in town. Sport is a bit more "punchy" and touring + the traction control made riding off-road without any real worries. I wouldn't tempt fate on a rutted two-track in the deep woods. But, according to a recent magazine's 4-bike test against the big Ducati, Triumph and Moto Guzzi adventure bikes, the Yamaha was voted most off-road worthy of the bunch. I had the bike for less than an hour and felt right at home long before the ride was over. It's that friendly and easy to ride. My $0.04. eddie

I've been very interested in the ST (Super Tenere) for a while. I've only managed to sit on one briefly in a showroom, and read about everything I can find on the internet. I've found my KLR a little short on power and comfort for long DS/Adventure tours. After researching the 1200GS and the 990, it seems the ST is the best buy. What was your impression of how it would handle on long superslab stretches loaded, and how it might handle unloaded on forest roads or mountain passes with maybe some TKC80s?
