You would think that because of how well the BMW GS series sell they would at least give us a shot at it. Look at the chance that BMW took with the new 1000rr going against the status quo in the super sport market and from all Ive read its a great bike and doing well sales wise. I would love to have the new 1200, I cant count how many times Ive gone on a( lets see where this road leads me ride) only to have to turn around because of a dirt road or trail. I dont want a full on dual sport I want a street bike with off road as an option. Ive ridden a 990 KTM adventure and wasnt impressed on the street, Im sure its way better off road than the Yam or BMW but since I spend more time on road thats more important to me. I guess I could always convert my Bandit 1250 into a adv tourer, hell it weighs about the same. Where can I get high pipes for it? lol

I like adventure touring bikes for sport touring, but I hate chains. There aren’t any shaft-drive adventure tourers besides the Stelvio and the R1200GS, and who’s going to take a Guzzi into the boonies? This is bound to be a good bit cheaper, if it ever gets here. I’ll watch with interest.

Wow, Heavier than my 02 Bandit 1200 by over 50lbs, radiator to get damaged if dropped, Higher compression motor but similar power curves. Guess I don’t get it???
My husky 610 covers the dirt riding that the Bandit can’t complete.

. . . which you really shouldn’t be doing with those tires anyway! Nice ‘fake’ off-road picture, Yamaha!

I agree with timmy-bear, but alas, I fear the US will get the shaft again – I find it interesting (and frustrating) that some ya-hoo in a foreign country ‘decides’ that a bike won’t be good for the US market! Gee, I wouldn’t bother trying it, on the off-chance it could be a huge success! D’oh!! Anyway, the bike is cool, and I bet you won’t notice the weight once you’re underway, unless you do a lot of slow-speed off-roading.

Yamaha better damn well bring this thing to the US. I used to be a big Honda fan, but I really thing Yamaha is where it’s at (they got Rossi didn’t they?). The new Tenere is a direct competitor to the Multistrada 1200, and the BMW GS. So long as Yamaha keeps the pricing down, this thing will sell like hotcakes. Otherwise, it’ss suffer the same fate as the TDM 850 of ’92-’93
