Consider yourself very lucky. I waited a year for my order, still not in my possession, full of ups and downs. Yamaha said it would be a "strict" delivery by date ordered. And everyone knows now how that deal went.Picked my Tenere at noon today !!
I did not pre-order.
The Yamaha dealer ordered one extra one (Blue) and I was first with the money. :hurray:
of all the things I want, a russell seat has got to be it. It will make this bike very very tall. I can't get one before heading North in 3 weeks, that is my biggest concern. I may have to give it to stitch on time to massage the seat for me.Clem, that pretty sharp. I like the side cases but are you going to be able to clear a Russell seat. You know you gotta have one.

I guess that says something about Barney's,Norm I have it torn apart for lighting, I am working on aux lighting at this time. I bought the bike in Alabama at D&H cycle, about 700 miles away.
I am getting it ready for a trip up North , and have to work the niggles out of it.
Mostly, the things that most of us change. Motor sounds like a tractor, and pulls like one. The shaft is very quiet. The brakes and suspension are 1st class. The touring mode lets you get 50 mpg. Uses premium fuel though. Overall, I am pleased with it.
