I agree.I too got paid to ride bikes, for many years. I do have to admit that I was riding an RT1150, and only a very short time on an RT1200, so not exactly the same. But, my personal opinion is the opposite. The Tenere's handling feels way superior to the RT. The Tenere's feel, makes me question the scale; until I have to push her around the garage. I never experienced any drive shaft hop or torque steer, but if you were stationary, and "blipped" the throttle, she definitely rolled to the right.
Everybody has their preferences.
I could've bought a GS many times and overseas dealers tend to rent BMWs, so have been on a number of them. Two left me walking, a friend had a transmission fail on the highway, I've known owners who lost the rear drive, so to me they are nice bikes to ride, I prefer my Super Tenere because I KNOW what it will and will not reliably do, and I have zero desire to own a Beemer.
A long time ago, somebody around here was selling Super Tenere stickers that were a play on the BMW roundel. Same colors but with tuning forks in the middle and around the edge it said "BMW Recovery Vehicle"
