I'll do my best.  The sales guy is not in today so getting info is like pulling teeth (I finally talked the parts guy into doing a re-con out the back to look for the Yamaha box).  I'm hoping it shows today or tomorrow and they can get the PDI done quickly.

I went out for a short ride this afternoon (100 miles) and damn am I one happy guy!  I  Inlove this bike!.  I've been keeping the revs low but still getting on it at times (computer is in T mode) and it pulls.  It handles well but I need to dial in the suspension as it's a little stiff (I haven't touched any settings).  

So far I have added a gps, CalSci tinted shorty screen, Yamaha headlight protector, Yamaha LED signals, SW-motech racks and Micatech bags.  Seeing it's an adventure bike I rode to Alaska this afternoon.  Don't worry though, tomorrow I'll make it to Starbucks!

Here are a few pics.

So far the vibes seem fine (I'm still early in the break-in miles).  I'm coming off a Sportster and a SV650 so everything feels smooth!

Damn man don't you know riding offroad is dangerous?!  Hell, wet grass will have you down in no time!  Dirt is acidic, too, and might damage the paint.  Just stick to nice paved roads and you won't go wrong.

The Tenere looks great. From what I have read, they should ride great as well.
Question I have is if any of you Tenere owners also shopped BMW 1200 GS.
If so, what was the actual dollar difference in your area?

I was looking at the BMW GSA as well.  I figured I saved $5000 to $7000 by going with the Yamaha.  I've put 500 miles on a 2009 GSA and feel that the Yamaha is a smoother/ more refined bike (all street riding).

Picked mine up from D&H Cycle in Cullman, AL. They had excellent pricing, went over the bike with me for almost two hours and installed all the accessories for free. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/protondecay123/d446bf32.jpg
Rode about 300 miles in 110 degree heat to Central Arkansas and played in the woods! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/protondecay123/f277fc76.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/protondecay123/4b7a6450.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/protondecay123/188f9ca9.jpg

I was kinda joking.  If I could buy one of those, I think the first thing I'd do is wear those road tires off and put some knobbies on it.  Looks like so much fun!
