Well, imho the Super Tenere is not as good as a Twin. I once had the
possibility to ride one and I never felt comfortable on it - and I do
not mean a comfortable seat. Itīs more that I never had a good
feeling for the front wheel in turns. To me, it always seemed that
the front wheel wants to slide away and that there is too much weight
on the front wheel.
The engine is destined to reach high revs, is quite "nervous" and so
is no real "touring engine".
This was my personal impression of a Super Tenere: I would never
recommend to buy one. Even a single cylindered Tenere is a better
bike. (The Twin is best - of course).
Ciao,
Marco
