Now that's what I call a good review comparing the Africa Twin and the Super Tenere.
Grateful for the insight.
I was not an off roader so the Tenere will likely be better for me.
Thanks again

You're welcome!
The ST will handle all the dirt you can throw at it.
AT is taller and gawkier. Less at home on road.
I did a big write up comparing the two a while back.

If I'm being honest with myself, neither of those statements would apply to me, can't speak for others. My most important quality in any product is reliability. I will gladly sacrifice some features and performance in exchange for reliability. I would wager that a lot of folks are actually attracted to and buy BMWs precisely because they are more expensive. They believe they are getting a measure of exclusivity or prestige. BMW would lose that edge if they were selling at Japanese bike prices. I've never bought anything to impress anyone but myself.
when a beemer works, it's pretty good tho...

Cuz you only go around once, I had the cash, I wanted a new one so why not. Can still trade this one in a few yrs for a new one and still have spent less than one GS.

It also had 36000 and im planning on Tuk this yr so I thought better to sell with 36000 than almost 50000
Don't get me wrong - you can spend your money any way you want :)

It's just that with the S10 36.000 miles is nothing - at that point it's hardly broken in.
I have close to twice as many miles on my 2015 and it still feels and ride like a new bike.

You have had both, where is your heart? But from your post, your heart is with the Tenere, if I were you, I would go back to the Tenere.
