    Yamaha XT Super Tenere for sale

    Yip, I agree that the Yamaha is a better bike, but having bought the bike with my head, my heart still wants the KTM.  Every economical cell says it is more reliable, less expensive to pretty much everything, no chain, parts, servicing, comfort factor, but it does not give me the same feeling...

The bike was bought new from Helderberg in September, has balance of 2 year warranty, has around 2800kms...

    yamaha ST - Power restriction in first 3 gears now lifted

I have the bridge, he does not.  Having said that, my bike is heavier on fuel...

    The official Yamaha Super Tenere thread

    I have heard quite a few comments about the screen not being big enough.  What I did was to buy a piece of polycarbonate from Maizey, trace the bottom profile of my screen, cut out a piece and extend it and it works like a charm.   I am 1,83m and the standard screen was just too short.  This...

    Automatic scrambler ? Street legal?

    Craig Marshall has just started bringing in Zero Motorcycles, electric bikes with a fair range.  They are pricey to buy, but cost almost nothing to run, and they are fully automatic.  He has a website and they sound very very interesting.  There is an on road and off road option.

    Trail rating

    Well, reading this has been a great help .......... not LOL. I have just recently got the Super 10, and a Transalp with rider only vs my bike with pillion are already two different propositions. I also know that the KTM is a better bike offroad than mine (I had the 950 Adv) but the Super 10 is...

    BMW Atlantic Motorrad - I was taken for a ride

    Go to the Consumer Council, or failing that, go to Small Claims Court.  They will also have to have a representative there and if you were not notified about the "storage" you have a strong case and should get your full refund.
