Not going to swap, going to add the T7 along side the S10

Be nice if the T7made grunt like the s10.

Weight!    I need a lighter bike for gravel travel.  Going with soft bags to keep weight down and a commitment to travel lighter!   Not sure, but might keep the S10 for a while.  She has been a good bike and hate to part with her.  Hope they  get along.

Nice, but an impossible dream, 500 cc less. Not comparable. Can’t compare. Nice if R6 made R1 power same impossibility. What is nice is the lighter weight and being quicker over most types of ground.

Big old steady sister and darty wee young sister should get along each has their own way and place.

Sisters never fight, no, not at all.

 

oh no..........I see trouble ahead!

I’ve not bought a T7 yet (several reasons, but main one being that a baby comes in late summer), but running a 12 s10 on the forth year now.

 

I'm enjoying the s10 on most surfaces, including bad single lane forest roads. 
The main reason for me to swap to the T7 is weight and handling in gnarly places (an s10 with very worn tkc70 rear ain’t got nothing to do on an all sand motocross track)

 

Ideally I’d keep the s10 for long bitumen travels with inlays of gravel roads (with or without the missus) and swap for the new one in 22ish (whenever it comes out).

Congratulation on expecting baby. More important than Tenere 700.

I agree, more important so the T7 is postponed a bit.

[Tvileren]

And I’m picking up my T7 tomorrow

[Tvileren]

Will add more here once I get some kms on the T7 on how the swap was and pros and cons

[Petebcca]

Still waiting for the T7 to land in Canada.  Once i get my pre-order I'll ride for a while and then decide if I keep the S10.  I might keep her for the long-slab rides!

Thanks  Hard calculations showed that I actually saved money by selling the s10, paying off some cc impulse buys (bike related old fun of course) and use the rest (or most of it, still need some kit on the t7) for downpayment  

The missus gets a baby, and dad gets a baby even tho someone refers to it as toy

Lets hope you'll be on the list of the first batch
