        Looks superb!
        A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

          Congrats!
          Cruiser to sports to adventure - that's pretty interesting transition Really curious about this.
          I have heard the Tenere is supremely comfortable to munch highway miles, but how does it handles the off-road?
          Cheers!
          Ride safe.

            Thanks guys.

            I am planning to start a new thread showcasing my adventures.

            So far I rode around 100 miles and here are my takeaways:

            Tenere is super comfortable. Its very agile and I don't feel the weight at all once it starts rolling. The 1200cc engine sure has enough power, at 2500 rpm in 4th gear(out of 6) the bike does minimum 55mph. I have to cautiously try to keep it under that. It handles very well in corners but I have to take it slow to reduce the lean angle, since the tires are new.

            I still have to pick skid plates, engine guards and wind deflectors from the dealer once they arrive.

            I have never done off road so I am planning to gain lot of experience on tarmac before I take it on the trails.

                      A short ride on a 2013 Yamaha Super Tenere testing my Sony hdr-as15. I will make another video about my helmet mount.


                      Here is my first video riding the super tenere.
