:D

At last, my two favourite bikes, the Tenere and the TDM getting fused into one ...

I personally like the concept and if the final design sticks to the general lines and form factor they show here (headlight is ace) then this will look much better than either GS or KTM adventure. And if it stands somewhere in the middle between the two in terms of touring and off road abilities, then I think we will have a winner. Let's wait and see....

I saw the concept and my first, and current thought, was 'jesus thats horrible'.

But having said that i had the same thought about the 'Ten for the first 3 months too - now i love mine to bits and plan to buried with/on it.

I loved the Ten based on the photo only 6 months before it was available. Then was annoyed by the vib/shaking for over a year until it's finally resolved after 18k km. And now the bike s opening up even more and smoothest ever, I love it even more. As to the Super Ten, weight, offroad agility, and tank range would be my judge to see if it's worth the name. If the look stays relatively the same as the clothed concept, it has passed my test ;)

In Chile, the XT660Z was introduced in July,this year, only 12 units arrived, all sold very quick @ US$15,000.
Now the local importer announces a new Super Tenere 1200cc , arriving in 2010 ?????????

Here's a piccie of the engine of the new coming Super Tenere, send to me by my dealer. Look and judge!

So it looks like they are using the TDM engine then???




Nick.

So what size engine did he say it was?
If its the TDM engine its obviously not 1200cc

Nope, no further info. When I got some more info, I'll post them here(although this a twin, which isn't the main object of this great site!).
Greetz, Hans.

But it's the 660s ******* sibling, so sort of related.

Oops censored, think of another word for "child produced outside the marriage".. :p
