Week picked her up this afternoon and went for a quick spin. Loved it she handles like a dream on her new anakee 3s. Some really clever design ideas on it like the built in platform under the pillion seat.

Any buzzing through the bars?

I rode an F800 and V-Strom 1000 last year and couldn't believe the HF vibes through the bars at 80-85mph.

Also rode an 8 year old TDM900 (great bike) and that was as smooth as silk at those speeds - so it can be done.

I'm hoping the S10 will be as smooth as the TDM!

Thanks.

No vibes in the bars but around 70 in top you can feel its a twin more through your core. Much smoother than I thought it was going to be . 300 mile days have been fine apart from the usual numb bum.
The secret of a long life is knowing when its time to go.

The S10 is in another league to the 800, soooo smooth, cruise at 90 and just a light vibration through the bars (thumbs) , the 800 vibrates like hell at that speed.
I can feel a rumble when I accelerate hard from 3,000 rpm, not vibration as such just the character of a twin (thumbs)
Loving this bike, must have done 200 miles yesterday through Norfolk and Suffolk and 60mpg although I can get it down to 48mpg :whistle:

Had the Anakee 3`s on the 800, great grip but the front tyre can be really noisy at 40mph :blink: and although the rear has plenty of tread left square off really quickly so I will try conti trail attack 2 evo when the original tyres are worn out.

Glad you are enjoying. Can I ask, are the annakee tyres the new OE fitting or have you had them put on?
