Sold my ZZR1400 a couple of weeks ago (wonderful bikes but hard on my neck now I am knockong on a bit :P ) and went and had a test ride on a Tracer 900, enjoyed it but a bit too sketchy and rough for me ... did come out with a brand spanking new Super Ten though! (thumbs)

Dead chuffed ... wanted one for ages but never had the gazooners to pay up ... well I have now and pick it up next week.

I know a few of you fellas have or have had them ... should I be excited?

It felt comfy this morning and one for big trips :)

Very nice bike, sat on one last weekend and was amazed that I could touch the floor and despite its weight did not feel that heavy. Also liked the 990 Adventure I tried for size which I think weighs around 40kgs less.

I love my S10.
Never say never, but when it comes time to change her I fully expect to buy another one.

Whip the axles out and give them some grease ASP. For some reason Yamaha think this is a cost saving exercise.
Also keep and eye on the spoke tension for the first few thousand.
Enjoy your bike. I just love and rely on mine.
