Super Tenere 1200

[Crisis management]

I've never seen one on the road.

I've ridden with one (loose interpretation of "ridden with") a couple of times with Sues' Auckland gravel road mob and it's not been up with the 990s' in performance although it's hard to measure a bike unless ridden back to back. Goes ok on gravel although hard to pass as they take up so much room and put up a bit of a roost.... on Mr Birchs fund raiser, I pushed the bloody thing up a sand dune a couple of times and they do weigh as much as a BMW and it struggled on the Muriwai sand (25kms of beach), it was soft seeing as the tide was in (oops!) but the 990s' were coping ok while the Tenere was doing a beaching whale impersonation. I was tank slapping most of the way on the 640 tho, so it really was soft going.
I would have thought it was the same as the other fat pigs (BMW, 990, Triumph etc) generally, but I am not a good big bike rider as was evidenced by my 990 always trying to kill me.

Kia ora, Tina,
Not Auckland, but I saw three S10's at the TT2000 this year. Don't know where they were from.
The S10 is out there...

a mate of my brothers bought one the first year they came out. Hes one of those blokes who has to be first to own a new model bike, but he wont ride it on gravel...go figure? As far as i know he still has it but dosn't ride it much cos hes got 7 other bikes to ride. I offered to test it for him off road which he agreed to...I just need spot a flying pig first
