Afternoon Moto News - Yamaha Super Tenere 1200 & H-D Long Jump

Finally, we have more details on the 2010 Yamaha Super Tenere. Its price has been set (in the UK, at least) and they have release more technical details on the machine itself. There is even a video available after the link. Just take your time and hope it will make it to US shores!

Stunt Monkey and Crusty Demons star Seth Enslow has set a new jump record for a heavy bike with a slightly modified Harley-Davidson XR1200. He jumped 56 meters on that rather weighty bike and he did it twice! Enslow had no choice as some press missed his first jump. Anyway, the American is now in the record books, but for how long? (He also may have neutered himself...)

Review: 2010 Harley-Davidson XR1200

Perhaps this is the bike which H-D should have built ten or more years ago...and, perhaps, they should have released it to the US when they first built it. But, hindsight is 20/20 and the future is very hard to predict. However, I could have told H-D to build this bike even before they launched the VSRC model (which has not sold nearly enough to make up for the development costs involved). So, this is the end of 2009 and we are seeing the new 2010 models come along, so let's take a look at the latest version of the XR1200...
