in our country, this model of motorcycle (2010 and mileage of 85,000 kilometers) costs from 10 thousand dollars, you can't find cheaper, it's so sad.....😢
No YOU don't lean. The bike does. You should be able to have upright posture, inside arm is almost straight, outside arm bent for the angle and pitch of the bike. Crack of your butt on the crack "edge" of the seat. You should feel like you're on top of the bike and able to look down the outside fork tubes when done correctly.
Congrats on a great machine! Speaking from 2 years and 32,000 miles experience on my 2015 Super Tenere ES, the throttle smooths out with an ecu remap. I paid $225 at 2 Wheel Dyno, well worth it, smoother and quicker feeling. I think you're running a good tire setup. I don't mind the back getting loose offroad, TC set to 2 works for me. I don't want abs off on a 600 pound bike. I ride enthusiastically on paved and gravel without problems. Try standing on gravel, lean the bike, stay vertical yourself, steer with your throttle. Good fun! Enjoy this fantastic bike!
Nice grab. I just picked up the same bike for $4,000 here in AZ with 41,000. 3 OEM boxes, LED lights. I added all my parts off my '13 and sold the 13. Great bike, very nderrated machines and right now, they can be had for a song. Big ADV's arent seliing out here.
I did the same thing a month ago. 5 hours away from me. 2012 40000 miles all the mods and boxes. New shinko tires. $4000 the guy was moving. Very happy with it.
Without a doubt, an excellent motorcycle, reliable, and I think it's the best value for money despite not having some electronic features like the current ones. Here in Brazil, it is very difficult to find something to buy.
You did good! I just bought the same 2012 model myself and paid quite a bit more than you did. But it has lower miles and top of the line suspension mods. My plan is to ride from the Bay Area, California to South Carolina coast. I did a lot of research and this was the bike I kept coming back to. I just spooned on some Dunlop Trailmax Mission tires and I hope they last me there and back, but we'll see...
Nice bike, looking to purchase one for my number 2 bike. I think it's funny hearing everyone say these are heavy bikes. I rode a roadglide for years. That's a heavy bike. Over 900 pounds.
