Probably one of the most overlooked bikes out there. Not as much off road oriented than a GS, but not far off. The reliability and service intervals blow the rest out of the water. It’s such a great value, I’ve watched people take these on the BDRS, side by side with GS, triumph, and does just fine. Yes it is heavier than some in its class, but not by much. The cost to buy, and just the reliability compared to the others that are 7-8,000 more, it’s a great bike!
I do not agree, Supertenere is a beast off road , it is more narrow and has longer, better designed swingarm.
And it is Japanese, so it will last forever.
Your price aspect is at least spot on. My friend has GS and I really liked to ride it, but I just can't afford it. Now looking into super tenere, that I might and apparently it's really underlooked bike in its class
Hey yall! to clear up the few things about the bike. it has a TON of suspension adjustment and i typically ride about 70% highway 30% offroad so its sets up to be smooth on both highway (big bumps) and Offroad soft surfaces.
Secondary: the little whistle/squeaking is coming from the fuel tank. the rubber bushings it sits on are a bit worn after 8 years.
But as I stated in the CARDO spot. i LOVE it.
I'm considering one as my next bike
It depends what kind of off roading you want to do. I mostly do forest roads and ATV trails, and this can definitely do that, and crush highways on the way there.
I bought a 2012 in 2019 with 3000 miles and have loved it, I have owned 7 other bikes since I got back into riding in 2015 and haven't loved any of them like I love the Super Tenere. The only down side is that I didn't get a newer version with electronic cruise control. On the bright side I've loved taking long trips without packing the chain lube and chain cleaner. Chase didn't take it off road but there are guys who do and have found it to be quite capable, I'm planning some fire road and trail riding this summer and I'm also planning on doing an Iron butt.
The most underrated adventure motorcycle. Fingers crossed, I'm buying one next week.
Well? Did you do it? Do you love it?
I wanted a H-D Pan America. Dealer markup was so high that I could buy a new KLR with the money I saved going to the Super 10.
I had one, sold it, and just bought another one. One of the most comfortable bikes I've ever owned. The softer suspensions are what make it ideal for touring. In the city you can use the rear brake to help reduce the nose dive.
I just bought a 2013 in October with 10k miles. She’s not *that* fast but she can get going quick. A little heavy as mentioned. But does well at 90+ and can still do some mild off roading. Reliability is great, mpg is 30 mpg doing 90. So, not a bad bike. Been my daily rider through all types of weather and hasn’t skipped a beat.
Is the fuel mileage really that bad? I find that hard to swallow considering a Harley gets like 40 at the same speed and other bikes in its class are rated at about 50. That would give you a realistic range of 150 miles which is really bad
@@ChavsADV I changed the air filter and dropped the side cases and get consistent 37 now. Most range I’ve gotten is 210 miles with 5.5 gallons. I ride consistently at 4500:-5000 rpm in 6th gear which equates to 80-90mph, the Speedo is off from the factory. Not great, but with its versatility, speed, reliability, and can ride it through all types of weather, there’s not much to realistically desire. Mpg drastically improves if going with the flow of traffic, but I’d rather not die 😂
@@Wecouldusemorethinking Thanks for the update. I'm considering this bike for its fair price and and hitting all the boxes I need. I was shooting for a BMW but I would like if I could keep my Z900rs and get an ADV touring bike.
@@ChavsADV If you look them up on fuelly, most people are at or above 40 MPG, and they are only rated for 45 to start with. Adding gear, putting on knobbier tires, going faster, etc. will all take a toll, but with a 6 gallon tank it will do alright. If you can pull 40 that gives a max range of 240 miles. Fuelly for the 2023 BMW 1250 GS show an average of around 41 MPG, and they have a smaller tank. The Super Tenere is definitely competitive on the fuel economy front for a shaft driven +1200cc powered ADV bike.
However, if you don't need the big bike and you want great fuel economy, check out the Honda CB500X. I'm not complaining about my 70 MPG average during the 600 mile break in. I don't like the vibrations it gets over 70 MPH through, so I'm looking at upgrading to a Super Tenere to have a smooth ride with no chain maintenance.
@@ChavsADV I took mine (2015) cross country loaded to the gills last summer. Set the cruise at 80 or a little more and I got upper 30's/low40's for the most part. Upper 40's at a relaxed two-lane speed. IIRC I ran it about 230 miles on one tank and still had half a gallon in the tank when I filled it up. I was really hyper-miling towards the end, though, because the gauge had been blinking at me for awhile. But the range gauge is inaccurate to the point of being useless.
Great bike overall despite a few minor quibbles.
I got a 2013 from my friends in the Yamaha racing division so it has never seen a dealer, the only major repairs were self-induced as I did not put the kickstand down fully while fueling and when bumped it fell between two vehicles at a crazy angle that pushed in the headlight, windscreen, light support and even side damage with crash guards in place. Aside from that the bike is flawless. Even with the stock seat 500 mile days were enjoyable. Not my bike of choice above fire road difficulty. Because I prefer 2 lane roads over freeways there is usually construction and that is where this bike shines and the weight is an advantage when going through the California desert winds necessary to get to other states.
I daily a 2015 S10 and I leave it in touring mode 99% of the time. Your review overall is spot on!
I have a 2010 Gen 1 ST, never let me down in 5+ years!! Get an engine remap and the snatchy throttle disappears. Smooth to ride and great low end grunt makes it more fun.
Another great underrated bike is the Honda 1200x crosstourer.
That thing is indestructible.... Underrated monster.....
I did an Iron Butt in 2021 on my Super T and I could have easily done another 500 miles after that. It was so darn easy.
hi Chase. I have a 19 mod with electronic damping ES, if you set it up correctly the problems with front diving disappear. it also becomes more stable. there is also not that much lift in the chaft you noticed. you can sit and drive all day, great bike.
Traction control mode 1 is the most aggressive, mode 2 smooths things out when in sport mode.
Why does that Parallel twin legit sound like a pushrod V Twin!?
I’M IN LOVE
270-degree crank 🤟🏽
Love the intro. ST is a great highway touring machine. It is also a great off-road machine, despite the naysayer influencers who don't own one. Compare on and off road with a BMW then compare cost, reliability, maintenance. Wouldn't trade my 2014 for anything. The suspension does not wiggle and go all over the place. It is a solid machine. Mine does 90 with no wiggling. It's a pig on its side. Practice picking it up as with all your motorcycles. I'll take mine on any road BMW, KTM, HUSKY, TRIUJPHS
Love the review. Almost grabbed one almost 3 years ago but then the co-Vid hit, and put those plans back a little. Now looking to pick up a nice SuperTen later this year. Planning to do 90/10 Highway/Off-road with it, and I reckon it's perfect for doing that 2-up !
This was awesome! Great camera work....chef's kiss!
'Short person friendliness' should be a part of every review from now.✌
As a 5ft5 guy, I totally agree
@@thangluongquang2826 5'5" guys represent!👋
With proper tires you can flat tear up some dirt roads and fire roads. I've even taken mine on some mild sigle track. Picking it up isn't terrible with the right technique. Does absolutely crush the miles on pavement and is pretty fun in the twisties.
Agree, it is surprisingly good off road. I’ve had to pick it up a couple times and even though it’s not fun it’s very doable and not as bad as one would think.
I actually like the headlights
I installed the Cyclops led light upgrade . Much better than stock
I'm just discovering this bike and I'm hooked. Thanks man
A funky thing with the gas gauge, atleast with the new ones. When it starts flashing, you still have like... 2 gallons.
Mine eats gas but I also drive it like a R1 lol I get about 33mpg
@@pappaclutch3266 I average around 36. But I'm a mix of riding like an idiot and highway cruising. I just can't wait till burn the E07+ I got on there..not the biggest fan of them.
@@EvLSpectre I’m on Dunlop trailmax missions, the last forever but are sketch in rain and mud.
@@pappaclutch3266 E07s do pretty good in mud and loose dirty. But has a typical knobby wander and hum at highway speeds. Does make the bike tippy, but it's both good and bad. Full lean grip is... Not good, very vague. Wet weather is okay, but have yet to try them in cold or snow.
I'm going either Motoz GPS or Trailmaxs for my next set. I burned through the anakee adventures in about 8K. Great road tire, kinda crap in dirt
@@EvLSpectre yeah I’ve been looking at those GPS’s or rallz
My man you've got 84 suspension settings, firm it up. I own a 2020 in the UK where they no longer make this bike. The S10 is massively overlooked and underrated. There is literally nothing I dislike about this beast. I'm off to the French Alps next month with the wife and this bike will make the trip very easy. BTW I went from a 2017 MT07 which I really miss 😢
Keep up the work I used to watch u a while back but y’all gonna get back up there
Always motorcycle reviews I love all of your motorcycle videos have you ever thought of doing a maxi scooter review such as the kymco ak550 or Yamaha TMax 560 I understand if you just stay with normal motorcycles but just a thought
Do you have plans for making HDR content in the future? Love your videos, keep it up
This is my daily such a good bike! Sometimes it serves as a pickup truck Lmao. You keep mentioning the off-roadness of the ST but you do you even know the lineage of the Tenere name?
Hello. Please tell me how tall the motorcycle driver is at 1.35 minutes? Thank you.
You should test ride a newer Tenere, I’ve got a 2019 Tenere and it’s got on the fly electronic front and rear adjustable suspension
OC: I think that it definitely needs to have off-road capabilities. If you're touring, long distances you'll eventually run into an off-road path of land you'll want to conquer
Always wanted a Super T until the 700 T came out, now I need one... if I can ever find one available 😅
Comfortable, capable, Reliable as an Anvil. What more could one want? Lose the background Noise man. Damn. Yes it’s still in production.
That’s why I got a low suspension BMW GS. Lighter than the Yamaha and when it does fall over when I go off road, it only falls to about 45° because of the cylinder guards. Easier to pick up!
Yes, the Gear indicator. My 2023 super tenere gear indicator when you pull in the clutch a straight line appears not showing what gear you're in. So, you have to remember what gear you're in at all times otherwise when you pull the clutch you have no gear indication. My biggest dislike.
I’ve been looking for a bike to travel but very good on off road because I love camping ⛺️ soit also needs to be able to hole my supplies is this what I should be looking for ? Or does anyone have a better suggestion
OC
Super T was on my shortlist before choosing a Tiger 1050 back in the day. Good bike, perhaps a tad heavy and sluggish but speed and agility are available elsewhere. Good video as per- may I enquire as to were you wearing Revitt Caliber gloves and not the heated gloves listed in the description?
Keep safe and healthy and regards to Mrs. C2W.
Thanks for mentioning your inseam. I'm 6 foot but my inseam is only 28 inches. More of a gorilla build. 🦍

It’s a OEM yamaha skid plate.
You dont know if they make it anymore bru?
As a motorcycle journalist reviewing a bike you really should do a little research and be able to tell viewers if it is still available new.
The dual sport capability is attractive.😉
XSR900 NEW VS. OLD comparison please
The engine plate is the Yamaha Accessories plate. It's "ok", but don't expect it to be a proper skid plate. The rear mount bolt goes into the bottom of the engine, so you risk cracking the cases if you put too much weight or impact on the plate. I have the 2017 model of this bike. Yamaha does still make it, but only in North America. They've discontinued it for Europe. Should also add that, as nice as that gear indicator is, it actually isn't all that useful since it doesn't tell you anything until you're already in gear and moving.
They say soon all bikes will be adventure bikes

Sleeper ADV
Not one Chase's best reviews. Too much missing information...never discussed wheel/tire sizes at all, or if the spoked wheels are tubeless
I believed the wheel sizes are 19' front 110mm tire and rear is 17' with 150mm tire. spoked wheels are tubeless
You're looking for a unicorn. There is no such thing as a "little light" "big ADV" bike. 23:30 That doesn't exist, especially not with a shaft drive.
You can have light, or you can have big, but not both. The Tenere 700 is over 450 pounds, and even the "tiny" CB500X is 430-ish pounds. Sure, that is relatively light compared to the "big" behemoth liter bikes. The KTM 1290 Adventure R is about 490 pounds, and that's LIGHT for that size of bike. All of these are fat compared to stuff like a CRF300L Rally that comes in around 335 pounds.
Thank you for the review, though. It's so hard to find current info on the Super Ten. It's just glossed over because it's not titillating on paper.
It's a big old "boy", lets see how "she" rides 🤣

He's inclusive
I wish these were still available in Europe. Gutted that Euro5 compliance killed them off for us. Fingers crossed that Yamaha will give us a worthy successor soon.
If you wanna do a First Ride on a 2021 Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE LT+, I know a guy...
