So , Colin , does this explain why you have stepped over from ABR onto here ... the debating is more up your street on ABR?
Is the new GS a reliable bike?
- Thread starter Irn-bru

No it's not, I just choose to not pay to get full access. Why waste good hard earned cash?
I don't have to show an interest in you to know your name, do I? As it happens you're right....God does know who I am!

Sounds like you're stalking me, monitoring the numerous different forums that I've been on, why do think I need to know that you know where I've been on line; that simply amazes me and I'll rephrase my last post, fook knows who you are.
I've only mentioned one forum that you use , why the dramatic exaggeration?
Something that amazes me is why a person who owns their own business, advertises it for all and sundry to see, behaves in a manner online that could only put potential customers off enquiring/requiring their services!
Who am I? A nobody , much like you really, and another thing we have in common is that our shit smells the same!

Ooooh can I play too
What a nice bush
What , no Stelvio NTX in the drive after singing its praises so highly!
Back to topic, I am sure the Op did not want to start a war and just fancied some feedback - anyway whatever bike he decides on at least he knows he can drop in here for a friendly chat.
My original point was I cannot find any major issues / scare stories for the Yamaha Super Tenere, four years into production and no reports of major problems, none have destroyed a final drive, dropped valve, blown a gearbox and the only recall was for a poorly fitted O-Ring on a few early machines, several have now topped 100k and many more are past 50k.
I must admit Honda really should recall the Crosstourer and sort its ugly looks, but I assume the reliability has been good - probably because the VFR it is based on had all the issues and they are now sorted.
If wanting shaft drive the only other game in town is the Triumph, which I believe apart from some top end noises (fixed under warranty) has proved pretty reliable so far.
The Guzzi Stelvio is a great bike, but I personally would be a bit concerned about reliability and parts availability (and finding a dealer as they seem to come and go like Willow the Wisp)

Coming from a GS rider* that's Mustard!
Pots and Kettles, anyone? Or do BMW have the copyright on Fugly?* As this is a GS forum, I assume you ride a GS. I stand to be corrected.
And yes, I do ride one.
Ooooh can I play too
What a nice bush
what a totally appalling, tasteless front garden
