    2011 vs a 2013

    Bottom line; dealer with the '11 at 10,250 offerred to sell a '14 for 13,500...I decided it would be better overall to keep my S10 and save the six grand. Not sure why there was so much discussion on flat footting a bike...I certainly didn;t have that expectation. Big adv bikes are not meant...

    2011 vs a 2013

    Here's the problem with that advice, Fred....it makes way too much sense and makes the assumption I'm mature and responsible....

    2011 vs a 2013

    Interestingly enough...the same deal offerred by another dealer would net out $1,300 higher...and that a dealer who wants a Tenere!

    2011 vs a 2013

    With a 30 inch inseam, getting a taller seat (the Russell adds an inch or two) makes the bike too tall.... Though I've taken it off-load a bunch, it is not as fun off-road as my XT225..too heavy....though a goto bike for long distances (it was great on the CDR). For the local dirt/gravel/farm...

    2011 vs a 2013

    Howdy, Trading in my 2012 Suepr Tenere....great bike, but after 2 years and 25K miles, still hate the seat (and yes, tried both a Corbin and a Sargent). Should I invest in a 2011 FJ with 4k miles? Or, go whole hog for a new 2013. Obviously, there is a price dif...but does the difference in...
