keny Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 So in December 2019 I as family was to Teneriffe in Canarias for a 10 day vacation. During 3 days I have a 2019 (according VIN) BMW F750GS rented, and one of the days a local guided me the best roads on his FJ1200 Yamaha. Was great roads as views! I let the pictures tell: The local guy, that had modern wheels on his FJ1200 sure did use all of the tire! Front as rear tire in next pictures I did also enjoy other bike like activity, but have to say, even fun, riding a motorbike is more fun! For the bike I had rented, I must say the headers looked terrible for a 2019 bike whit 30k kms on the odo! 3 Quote
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted January 1, 2020 Member Contributer Posted January 1, 2020 Nice pics. Maybe it's just me or an optical illusion, but th FJ next to the F750 looks like a kids size bike. Can't quite wrap my brain around that. I'd love to do the same - rent a bike and tour certain parts of the world - The Alps, New Zealand, etc. Quote

Nice pics keny, looks like some nice roads there in a poorly known (from a biking perspective) destination. Quote
Member Contributer Mohawk Posted January 2, 2020 Member Contributer Posted January 2, 2020 I visit Tenerife most years & have driven all over the island. I have to say the roads in the mountains are amazing & would love to do them on a bike. Unfortunately the wife has a bad back now, so can’t ride pillion, which limits my options somewhat. There are also many trails that only an adventure bike could cope with, so plenty of areas to explore. Maybe one of these years I’ll scratch that itch 🙂 Glad you had a good time. Quote

Surely someone has swapped their old crappy headers with the rental bike, otherwise I've scrubbed a BMW F750GS from my bucket list! - permanently Quote
