"I shouldve kept the Tenere and drove it till it broke", it wouldve outlasted you!😂

I'm 66, Nothing s too late ... GO back and get another Super Tenere.YOU will be happy again Doit!!!

Almost 50 and been on 1250GS a few years, started eyeing the XR like a teenager. I was at the dealer actually talking numbers stood up and said I can't do this. Sales guy looked absolutely pissed but my higher conscious I guess started shaking me what the hell are you doing? I was almost there man, but hey this video is a year old here's hoping you've got back on a T12.

Not having shaft drive would have been an instant stop for me. The GT+ is awesome except for the chain.

I sold my 2017 FJ09 and bought a 2012 Super Tenere and couldn't be happier. The FJ09 had an awesome motor, but I could not stand the crappy stock suspension and the horrible wind buffeting. I tried many different windscreens and none of them worked. I finally had enough and sold it. My Super Tenere has a Madstad adjustable windscreen mount and a MRA Vario windscreen and its awesome. I'll be riding coast to coast with it late May 2024!...

I am on the fence too. My options are The Super Tenere, Tracer 9, FJR or Triumph explorer. Really wish the Super Tenere came with the FZ01 4 in line R1 engine.

A year later, what do you think now? It is a really great bike, but definitely different from the ST. I'd also hope you got some case liners for your GT. I have side-opening cases on my V-Strom 1K and the liners kept me from torching them. About to pop for an ST and very much looking forward to it for the long rides.

I traded in my V-strom for this bike last month. My V-strom was a great commuter bike. I just wasn't excited to ride it like I did when I rode sport bikes. I love the performance and the technology of the Tracer. The Tracer isn't quite as comfortable or economic but I'm grinning ear to ear while I'm riding it. Thanks for the video.

Have the Tracer 9 base model. I think that you are gonna get used to it. Just give it a bit more time. You can check my Tracer 9 playlist, just drop by. Nice video bro.

Whaaa! Trade it back in or sell it then. I love my Tracer 9gt. My two previous bikes were a Super Tenere and an Africa Twin, so there's that. So subjective and anectdotal. Why even make a video about it?

Thank you for the honest assessment and feedback. I'm sorry you were disappointed with it. I personally considered one of these, adventure or sport touring, that's it.

Two great bikes, but different porpouses, you can`t get the same result from a Tracer and the S10, I was abot the same question, but I got the Tracer just because the weight and speed...but S10 is a beast...great video.

Thank you for the review I really like the idea of getting a super tenere

Has opinion changed since 1 year?

I think you should purchase a Yamaha FJR 1300 instead of Tracer. Great sport touring bike. Also think the Super Tenere is an awesome adventure touring bike! Wish I could have two bikes. FJR & Super Tenere!

How tall are you? I have a 2016 ST and find it big an cumbersome to move around until we're moving then its fine. Very comfy for long trips on hwy. But im considering a tracer 9 gt, they're 90 lbs lighter. I sold my fz1 2 years ago and I miss the sporty engine

that windshield.... lool

bro.. where did u buy super tall windsheild screen.. ? or u just DIY ?

Hi my friend. I am 1,82m tall, but I feel very uncomfortable with the seating position... My knees hurt... I have the foot pegs at the lowest position and the seat at the hi, but I still feel uncomfortable! I am thinking about changing the seat with another, more comfortable... I tend to slide forwards... 😭What do you suggest me doing? Should I try to get the foot pegs at the hi position and the seat at the lowest? I feel that this would hurt my knees more... 😭

I am 58 years old an purchased a 2023 Super Tenere 1200. Compared to my Triumph Bonneville T120 1200 the Tenere is a real bike and the Triumph is a around town toy. Since I am 58 this might be my last bike a purchase new a any rate.

If your wife leaves you on a trike with less power and twice the weight, its not a problem with the tracer.. 🤣

This answers my question. super ten for me.

I'm currently stuck with a kawa z400. Be happy you're not in my situation.

Listened to You, basically whatever you dislike on this and have to change, you had to change on the Teneree too, but for some reason you just don't like this one. Weird. Did your opinion change at all since you posted the vid?

You traded a Cadilac for Corolla.

You will need a seat for the tracer as well. 😢

Sold my Africa Twin for a new Tracer 9GT. Its much better for everyday.

If you add Lucas Oil stabilizer to ST it will quiet engine, keep temps lower, improve shifting, etc. A noisy engine is a symptom of too low viscosity or lack of proper lubrication, if engine is sound. ST also has higher load carrying capacity and less vibrations, due to high strength flexible steel frame. The Givi Outback top opening back and side cases on ST are great. That styled side opening luggage is aweful. Hard to go back to chain after no maintenance shaft drive. If my bike was destroyed tomorrow, I would consider the Truimph Tiger 1200 GT or Ducati Multistrada or BMW GSA1300 for touring adventure style bikes. All of which offer low rev engine torque, passing power, adjustable tall windscreen, no highway buzz, comfort, adjustability, better tech, proper luggage and style. For now very content.

Gawd you’re a whiner. T9 is a great bike. You should’ve ridden it before you bought it. A dirt bike it’s not. Did I mention you’re a big whiner?

Man some people just love to complain

You sold your Super Tenere for that? Bad idea.

Was the madstad worth the $300?

That windscreen is awful, why don't you get a car instead? :P
