Who’s still riding an XT12?

So how many of us still have a SuperTenere? Post a pic with yer reply guys.

I now have two. Still got my original 2020 reg one which I bought new in July 21. Got 41k miles on it so far.

But also picked up a 2024 NZ import earlier this year with just 2400 miles on it

I have a crash damaged bike that's taking a bit longer than expected to get on the road, hopefully not too much longer. really looking for to getting on the road. I had one about 8/9 years ago .

I've hade my S10 from new 2011, only used for trips and it really has been a brilliant bike. It does seem to get bigger as I get older but it is just fabulous!

I’ve always wanted to try one of these…

If you decide to test ride one make it as long as possible, they are such a capable bike but seem a little underwhelming at first but they really grow on you.

I still miss mine.

I must echo yo-yo’s observations, I sold mine to buy a 23 plate Tracer9 GT+ and although it is a brilliant bike, I really miss my Super Tenere

Finally got mine on the road and I have to say it really does go well !!! I had one about 10 years ago and certainly don't remember it being as grungy as this one, maybe it's because ive been on the Tuareg 660 for a few years ?? anyway loving being back on a big bike . its not quite finished but can at least be ridden while I finish the last bits

We popped to the Lincs Aviation bike night on Wednesday, got papped by one of those roadside photographers on the way in. Thought a couple of the pics were pretty decent so we splurged a few quid on them.

Well that looks different,

 

[Grizzly]

I bought my 2015 (2014 model) XT1200ZE Worldcrosser in May 2018 - with only 3000 miles on clock.
It's been far and wide in Europe and now has 86,000 miles on it.
You don't see may around do you?

I've got a NRA touring screen doing nothing are you interested.

I’d wish I’d kept mine . Great bike . Took me to the Nordkapp and back

I had one some time ago. It was very lethargic in lower gears due to an ECU-imposed limit on how far the throttle butterflies would open. I had that limit removed with a remap and it was instantly a far better bike.

I found the styling around the front fairing & sides to be displeasing - it would have benefited from sharper lines rather than the 70s-style jelly mould side fairings.

Aside from that, it was incredibly reliable. Nothing ever went wrong. It was very smooth, nice shaft drive, everything always worked (like my T7). A nice bike if somewhat dull and unremarkable. Will outlive every other bike in existence probably.

Didn't a gentleman called Rasher champion this bike on the site?
Hours of fun reading is posts.

I love mine to bits. She's just a beast of a thing and does everything required with no fuss.

Just done a few days in Cornwall, a trip the the Irish UKgser do and going to Brittany in a few weeks to recce an upcoming trip.

One thing I really like is the constant questions when you stop and positive comments.

Your’s is certainly a cracking looking ride Chris.

It's a 52 litre (I think) GiVI. You can get 2 full face lids in it.

If I was ever going to ride around the world, this is the bike that I'd do it on.
