Dual Sport reviews

Rides like a dream. Rides like a new bike with the retro look and feel. After upgrading the air intake and exhaust the 700cc motor really opened up. The top end is a real treat. Thank you for listening Yamaha. Show less

I really like my bike I had several different Yamaha dual Sports and this one I like a couple things I don't like is one they took away all kick starts that's idiotic for any kind of bike that's on the dirt you never know when that battery is going to go dead and two I don't think I have too much torque as I'd like 240 but still at 250 should be able to at least pop up on command. All else is pretty good I like it quite bike nice bike Show less

Yamaha Super Tenere XT1200z This is one of the most comfortable motorcycles for touring. Gets great gas mileage (55mpg). Very reliable, quick and smooth. Affordable service. Tires have been lasting 14,000 miles between replacements. I have been using street tires because I don't ride in the dirt. Show less

This is an amazing motorcyle, best for any day and road. Try it and you will love it. Polyvalent riding in any conditions. Until you drive such a versatile motorcycle, you wont be ready to buy your next 70/30 city/highway motocycle.... Show less

Bike is fun, fast, and all around super bike at an affordale price. Great for beginner or as a seasoned rider. Bike is nimble. There is a feeling about bikes that many people share. If a bike is exciting enough for an experienced, talented rider, it will be too intimidating or difficult to ride for a beginner/novice. On the other hand, if a bike is user-friendly enough for a beginner/novice, it will be boring for the experienced or talented rider. Overall, SV handling is very sweet indeed – far better than most expect, in fact, from a budget, middleweight machine. Steering is neutral and precise which, combined with the SV’s slimness and light weight makes it extremely nimble and entertaining. On the downside, the forks are a little underdamped and undersprung and the single rear shock is likely to be worn out and have lost damping by now. If you simply want a cheap commuter that may not matter much. On the other hand, the SV’s success in Minitwins racing means plenty of knowhow and upgrades are available Show less

Excellent sport bike like new. 2700 miles. Original Bridgestone tires. No after market parts All original parts. Reliable for sure. Fast, great I'm corners. You'll love this bike, perfect size and power. Show less

The bike is a 1000cc bike so it is very fun to use. the power is thrilling, the looks of the bike are awesome. the sound the bike makes is also very nice. its a sport bike so obviously its going to get a little uncomfortable if you ride for long periods of time but riding down to Miami a few times from west palm and its decent. No complaints. if you ever need to get out of a close call situation, the bike has enough torque and agility to get you out of it pretty quickly. i had a Ninja 650 before and this is just a completely different beast. you'll definitely have fun with it.

Out of 19 motorcycles I've owned, the 2005 VTR1000 (also known as the Honda Superhawk 996) is the lightest, thinest, most powerful, best-handling, canyon carver I've ever ridden. I'm 6' 0", 185 lbs. For me, the forward-leaning riding position, with a Corbin seat is extremely comfortable. The stock front forks and a Olin rear shock work perfectly with all road conditions. It soaks up bumps like they are not there. The engine is used as part of the frame which makes the whole chassis very ridged so hard cornering is effortless, and fun. I've never ridden a bike that handles better than this Superhawk 996. The engine has so much torque that you can stay in fourth gear from 40 to 120 mph in the canyons with it red lining about 9,500 RPM. You can easily change the exhaust from low and slightly tilted up to high and exiting next to the license plate like the VTR race bikes. The unique radiator setup, one on each side of the bike, keep the engine temperature between 175 and 220 degrees, and keep the bike very thin and easily maneuverable. The gas tank is thin and small and only holds about 5 gallons so the refill interval is about 100 miles, not good for touring but just fine for short trips blasting through your favorite canyon.
