Super Tenere is easier to get your feet down on. The only complaint I hear on the ST is the weight, BUT that's only when standing still. All accounts say as soon as you start moving the weight disappears. Just straddling it and shifting it side to side under me I felt ok enough that it's still my top pick to replace my current bike.

 

The guy I bought it from was 5ft 3 lol Zero excuses my dude! hahaha

Once moving above 5mph, the super tenere is easier to move, more "flickable" in the twisties (wide bars of the adv bike help this) and the extra 100lbs isnt felt, in fact it feels lighter than the 919 ever did.

Im going to say some of the most fun riding I have ever done has been on the dirt in this state. But its one of the few things that this state has that others dont, AMAZING riding either dirt or street.

Shes a heavy girl moving around the garage etc. But like stated above once above 5mph, the low slung weight makes the bike feel very light. It blew my mind the first time I got on it.

 

For the shorter kings talking about how tall the Tenere is, the new Tenere 700 Explore is supposed to have a lower seat height and 20mm less suspension travel which should make it much more short king friendly. Hopefully they make it stateside.

Trying to catch up on my Itchy Boots vids, tough when she puts out 3 a week.
Anyway, making my way thru season 6, hit episode 112 and she's in Colorado. Towards the end of her ride, she rode thru the areas where I play, Pennock Pass, Pingree Park, Poudre Canyon (HY14) Laramie River Road, until she crossed into Wyoming.
Kind of made my day.

 

Too dirt oriented for me, personally, but nice that they are making it more approachable.

 

Talk about a dream job, eh? Major props to her for taking the risk to leap into it headfirst, and to her skills in editing and filming. I may have to binge her vids while I'm on nights this week.

 

Honestly some of the best entertainment on YouTube right now. And FortNine of course.
Hoping to catch up to where ever on the planet she is by the end of winter.

 

Maaaaan I love this thing. I run a marine canvas shop and spent many years doing custom motorcycle seats. That would have looked great in my shop

 

I really need to go ride a T7. I have read that the weight is pretty high up. I don't know how I'd like that with my height

I follow her channel

 

Ha!

 

Someone come get this

 

FJR is similar in this regard. Top heavy and a bit porky but once moving it loses weight really quickly. Super Tenere is definitely on my watch list once I free up some cash.

 

Dude!

 

sadly not a huge fan of the ST its a chonky lookin boi so nah lol i like the t7 a lot more and would most likely just get use to the height and most likely lower it like i did my sm... haha

for real? thats nuts haha and its true my buddy rides his and is fine i just like to be firm footed if that makes sense on such an expensive bike haha.

hopefuly that does come to the states!

you think he would take 20 bucks and some chicken nuggets?
