<snip> I tested the Super Tenere (S10) twice and was blown away by its outstanding quality andproven track record of reliability. <snip>

Apart from the recall to resolve the headlamp harness overheating on the previous model of course (not to mention the rusting spokes but we won't mention those!).

We're on our second (also a ZE) and they're great bikes (not as good as our GSA IMO but we're going to have to disagree on that). Don't get too carried away with the stock tyres though as they're not great in the mud as this short blog post will testify; it was completely stuck. I think I've now got most of the mud off...

You were pleased with the Versy's initially.  :popcorn:

I used to think that the three GTRs I have owned were what I needed Steve, but as time passes requirements change and so did my biking needs, its amazing what is available out there when you try it  :popcorn:   :mfr_lol:

What it is, when you are a multi millionare like Rog, with apartments dotted all over the world, a garage full of Rolls royce, and other exotic cars.

Plus a shed full to the rafters with the best bikes that money can buy.     

And money is just no object                                 You can please yourself what you spent your money on.  :wink:

Have you been at the magic mushroom cake Geoff......... :mfr_lol:

The standard tyres are probably only any goodfor relatively light off road use, my days of off roading are now alas no longer a possibility  :surrender:

GS or S10 well its all about personal preference and I fully respect your opinion Kevin  :yes: I couldn't get on with the GS that I owned.

I wonder though how far down the narrow mud track your GS would have got with its 'boxer' engine  :mfr_lol:

[nods] Fair point, well made. I don't think it would have been the gear lever I had a problem with!
