2021 Yamaha Super Tenere: who is ready?

There are unreleased models, at least on the USA website, that need Euro 5 updates at the least.

Yamaha has put up a teaser video that says, "Go farther" and although it looks like an updated FJ-09, the S10 is in need of some loving too.

Who thinks we are about to get an upgrade?

Obviously emissions but also a new dash and possibly electronics package.

People love their electronic gizmos so I recon they will eventually do something to keep them entertained. I kind of like the simple nature of my S10 but would welcome a bit more horsepressure and a bit less mass. Honestly though for the type of riding I do, mostly road and some dirt/seasonal roads, I can't see me trading the old girl in. I look at the S10 as the Road King of Adv. bikes, simple and solid. I have a Road King too.

i think the s10 willl be dropped. the engine needs updating and isnt used elsewhere. they will concentrate on the tracer

a new s10 would need a heap of electronics to make it viable and it hasnt been selling well any way

Im hoping for a Bike 60+ lbs lighter , same suspension , triple motor that the" Minister of 2-up travel" recommends .

Yep, a 1200 triple with shaft drive would be interesting.

If it changes at all, and I'm not confident it will, my guess is a very simple dash change to match the Tracer GT, and maybe some minor styling updates so it doesn't look so 2010 anymore.

Does this mean you will be back on a Super Tenere?

Easy now!

I'm enjoying the merits of lighter weight and slower speeds. Plus picking up S10's isn't easy.

Just saw the reveal for later today most likely being the new Tracer 900 but that the S10 hasn't been released yet and will need an update for emissions let alone to compete with everybody else who has left it in the dust as far as modernization goes.

Not sure I'd go big adventure bike again.

Never say never though. Didn't think I'd ever own a Harley either.

According to Yamaha Europe, the Super Tenere has been discontinued for 2021,
I phoned to check.

Triumph already has that. I kinda like their Scrambler 1200. Uggghh I just looked out the window and it's snowing pretty hard.

Yamahas USA website shows the 2021. Same bike.

They just added it.

The new bike release is the Tracer 9/GT.

Another year of the same S10 for us.

In a odd way I think that's cool does the market need another big heavy ADV bike with all the tech & 20K price tag ?
I bought my 2014 ES new in 14 because it didn't have an imobilizer, super reliable, very maintenance costs & was about 6K cheaper than the KTM, Ducati & BMW, if they hold the price down I'm sure there's a market for a low tech reasonably priced well made 1200cc ADV bike. I just sold my ST last month & kinda regretted it & I rarely regret selling anything.

.

Don't care for the color of the 2021, would go with a leftover 2020. I don't see any changes at all, even the price is the same I think??

I'm glad it continues another year with no changes. I like the black ok.

Exactly. Couldn't have said it better! The thing i most appreciate in my S10 is its simplicity and real reliability. I also have s very, very simple motoguzzi v7iii for the same reason. No complex electronics to deal with (relatively).

Thats mine.. S10 2018 all matt black, simple and beautiful. I'm glad to have "married" to such a reliable girl. My "Maria"!

I have a theory... Yamaha has 2 dinosaurs in their fleet that a few people love but nobody is rushing out to put deposits on. The S10 and the FJR. Yamaha has a good option for those looking for offroad ADV bikes with the T7. So what hit me was maybe they combine the S10 and FJR into one platform with 2 bikes. One with some offroad ability, you know, longer travel suspension, spoked wheels, etc etc. The other with cast wheel, street oriented suspension, yada, yada ,yada. Kinda like the Ducati multi has 2 versions on the same basic platform. They could come up with a new engine or use the existing engine from the S10 or more likely Tracer 9.

I am very sorely interested in perhaps trading in my beloved V-Strom 650. I test rode an '18 S10 and LOVED it. And I have a big trip planned in the next few years, provided things COVID settle down.

I loved the deep blue of the '18. I wish I could get that, new.

Just what you want! They're proud of it though. I couldn't get them to move on price either...
