Going to talk to the dealer again in the morning. I've already been given a trade-in value as high or higher than fair market value. I feel like the dealer is actually working pretty hard to sell me this bike. He knows he blew it when I bought my current Tenere from another dealership.

I'm really missing cruise control on a bike. Had to do a long interstate stint in order to get home from GA and wanted to be able to rest my hand. I used my throttle lock some but it works much better in Kansas than eastern Tennessee. I want a real factory cruise with built in switches........I know.......... first world problem.

If I purchase, it will be the first time I've ever bought a newer version to my current bike.......like some did with the ST 1300 I guess.

That's a great color, good luck, I do like the dash display better than the previous version.

I think as much as you like the one you have now, you will like the new one even better. I took a 2015ES for a test ride last year before buying my Tiger. And I sure did like it!
And yes factory cruise is wonderful!

Had cruise on the RT and became really spoiled. It looks like I can take everything off of my bike except the Alt-rider skid plate and wind screens. That will save a ton of money on farkles.....that actually did make the wife happy......small victory.

Close but no cigar. I've decided to keep what I have for now. Couldn't bring myself to go in debt for a new bike. I dicided the difference between a 2013 and 2016 Tenere isnt worth $7000. I will upgrade the clutch and put in a manual CCT to smooth this one out a bit.

The Super 10 has given me 30k miles of smiles in 22 months. I dont see why next 30k would be any different.

Damn. I was hoping throw the blame at you to SWAMBO, as I'm contemplating to trade my '13 Triumph Explorer for a '17 Explorer XRT.

Well...maybe I won't blame you if it happens...I'll just tell her it's your fault. :D
