Shopping from Seattle

[eddylindenstein]

I live in the Pacific Northwest and am currently on a 2016 Super Tenere ES.  The T7 caught my eye as soon as I read about it.  I started riding in 2010 and have been through a ton of bikes: Honda Rebel, Yamaha V-Star, Suzuki Bandit, Yamaha FZ1, KLR 250 (Dirt introduction and never looked back), Super Tenere.

 

I have a couple of buddies who I ride with a lot -they're both on Triumph TIgers.  I ride pretty aggressively off-road and am considering moving to the T7 to get a bit smaller and more agile, particularly off-road.  I'm here to learn about your experiences!

I expect to receive my bike soon, and my dealer is just north of Seattle. I also came from a KLX250 which I rode off road very aggressively.  Killed my clutch a while back even

Saw your other post regarding your S10 and commented. If you like riding off highway, the T7 is much better. If you plan to ride lots of miles on pavement to get to the fun stuff, the T7 can be as good as the S10. You will have much more fun off pavement with the T7 than your buddies on the Tigers...
