Richard_D Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 My friend told me to post here that he got tired of waiting and bought the 800 Tiger. He also said he thinks he got a better bike. I just think he was impatient . The 800 may be better for dirt but who wants to haul ass on either bike in the dirt. Link to comment
hANNAbONE Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 nO lAUNCH on the XC800.Felt like the bike had an anchor tied to it. The Yammy S10 launches like a torquey stump puller. Better hold on..it'll pull your arms outta the sockets. w00t Link to comment

Matts_12GS Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I really wanted to like it until I saw it at Bike Week... Now, I'm happy with my 2005 GS, I guess I really am the cheapest part on my motorcycle ;-) Link to comment

OlGeezer Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I have to ask. Phil, are you changing your screen name to 1YAMAHAfan? I've waited for someone to ask that question. Geez, I can't believe this thread still has legs. Link to comment

Geez, I can't believe this thread still has legs. Nah, no name changes here. I chose firefight911 for the Yamaha Super Tenere forum though. I figure that one should be good for a while. As for legs on this thread. Nope, no legs, this things get wheels! Link to comment
dhanson Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 The thread should end soon, when the bikes start hitting the dealers and then to the PDP guys. Link to comment

johnlt Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Great pic Dave. As I recall, there were boxes of new BMWs washing up on the beach in the UK a few years back from a sinking ship. Link to comment
Firefight911 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 WooHoo!!!!! They have arrived!!! Just got this from my dealer; The bikes arrived in LA today and are being cleared by logistics for shipment. We expect the units to arrive in 7~10 Days. We’ll contact you ASAP for you to plan to take delivery. Oh yea!!!! What a month August is gonna be!!!!! I just got my buyback money from BMW for the F800GS, I get promoted to Captain on Monday, my bike will be here within the week from that, and I turn 44 on August 31. Happy Friggin' Birthday to ME!!!

CoarsegoldKid Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 hyjack Sunday at the MotoGP a 1600GTL parked next to me as I was standing there. I resisted the urge to talk and I was more interested in other things at the moment. Heck said I should have asked, "How the beta testing was going"? Boy they sure are big. Link to comment

hANNAbONE Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 mINE is coming in a week. It's confirmed in Chicago warehouse. I guess I can wait yet another 8 days after all this time. No biggie. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Best of luck with it David, heck it's a Yamaha never mind. Ride on! Do I see a sub forum in the making? Pat Link to comment
Roadwolf Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 What's with the oil filter sticking out in front like that? Looks like a nice spot to take a hit and get punctured... hopefully Yamaha or the aftermarket has a guard for it. Nice bike though. Link to comment
tallman Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I noticed that. No problem if you don't hit something. Like GS's most of the usage will probably not put the rider at risk of that. I hope... Looks ez enuf to change. Link to comment
johnlt Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Good looking bike Dave. I guess the final judgement will be if mamma approves it for riding on the back Link to comment
dhanson Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Good looking bike Dave. I guess the final judgement will be if mamma approves it for riding on the back I'll be making oil/filter FD oil change probably today, luggage install this weekend most likely, I'm ready to travel! She is planning a ride to Talimena soon, but she will be on her bike. She loves that thing. I have been off road several times already, but will not be going up Imogene! LOL If it was not for the big stairsteps tho, it would be fine on that trail. Very nice engine and 1st gear is very smooth for picking along on a trail. Yamaha really did a nice job. I'm impressed. 255 miles. Gonna mow the grass before I head out again so momma will not think I am just goofing off all day. :-) Link to comment

dhanson Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 A run up to Canada would be welcome about now, this heat is getting old, but we have been getting some mini breaks, shower yesterday and cloudy this morning for my 250 mile ride local. Jean and I are headed to the Talimena in the morning, should be at least 10 degrees cooler up there. :-) Link to comment

Firefight911 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 BAM!!!! Dealer just called. They just took crated delivery of my bike!!! Last three of the VIN - 052. Based on logistics of MY schedule, I will be picking it up on Aug 4. I am gonna go see it tomorrow though! (First base with any luck, Larry!!!) Link to comment
OlGeezer Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Can you make any comparisons to the 1050 Tiger yet ? I stopped an oogled at a 1050 in a parking lot a couple of weeks ago. It looks pretty sharp to me. Ogles almost turned to lust, but I restrained myself. Link to comment
