Waiting & Waiting

Yamaha, please bring the bikes to the USA as soon as possible, preferably no later than May as promised.
There are a lot of adventure riders waiting and with videos like this one coming out all the time it's becoming torture to most of us that have put a deposit on the bike but haven't had a chance to test ride it.
I know at least two of my followers are on the fence about getting a Super Ténéré.
Yes, you guys know you want one and after watching this video you will want it even more, time to ditch the oil burner and the pretend adventure bike, ha ha, you know who I am talking about.
Watch the video in 720p HD if you can.
Enjoy......

  1. Neat Vid George, it must be very frustrating waiting for the bike, May seems a long way away. I am looking forward to hearing all about it though.

    I'm not too happy right now, on the ADV site everyone saying the bikes are not getting here until June or July :-(

    Kari:
    I have not heard from the other two ;-) they must be out putting the deposit on the bike :-)

    MDJean:

  7. Drool...Give me the bike AND the desert riding! I'm not sure I feel happy or sad if there is a delay...since you continue to torture me. OK...I really do feel sad if there is one. :( I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

  9. I wish we had more bikes in the US from other zones. I guess they figure we need big displacement rigs to compete with the huge, open road we've got here, but there are a lot of places where some of the smaller, or just plain interesting bikes from other zones would do well. Too bad.

    Yamaha sells a beautiful and smaller XTZ660 all over the world but not here. Bike is perfect for adventure, small and light. Check it out: http://goo.gl/qW88l

    I just checked pictures on the web, looks nice, never been there :-(

    Dear Yamaha:

    I hope you delay the introduction of your superb Super Tenere to North America. I was thinking that it should be a 2012 model which you could start shipping over in the Spring of 2012 for then I won't have to keep thinking about it and wondering whether I should or shouldn't get one of these.

    In the meantime continue to dazzle us with your photos and videos of the Tenere "in action"

    thank you, love
