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
