[QUOTE="Unleaded, post: 1185998, member: 84176"] Thanks for the kind words. I actually test rode a number of other bikes, including the '14 Super Tenere. My REAL job prevailed and I haven't taken the time to post those reviews yet. I will say that I greatly preferred the SuperTen over the VStrom. But that's just a subjective thing. The Strom was a surprisingly good bike, made similar power, and had essentially the same rider's triangle. Besides a better seat, the Yamaha just felt more planted and solid, and though the windscreen was much better than it looks on the new V, it was better (for me, at 6'2") on the Tenere. I was actually a fan of the older Strom, though I never owned one. This one has the appearance of a much more dirt-worthy machine, but it really isn't (outside of the TKC 80's on the example I rode). The off road tires contributed to the less-than-perfectly-stable feeling, of course, but overall, I would personally probably spend the extra money on the Yam. Any specific differences you'd like to hear contrasting the two, I'd be glad to take a search back through my notes and give my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
