Hi all,
New Super Tenere owner here in Brisbane, Australia. Recently bought a 2010 model, quite the upgrade from the 1995 XT600 motard I’ve been riding for the last 17 years!

Hi and welcome, I'm newbie here too.
Although I'd say XTZ1200 is more like upgrade of previous TDMs and 1989-1996 XTZ750 Super Teneres, than one-piston XT

. . . . Although I'd say XTZ1200 is more like upgrade of previous TDMs and 1989-1996 XTZ750 Super Teneres, than one-piston XT

So, would that make it a double upgrade? Twice the pistons, twice the upgrade?

Welcome from Texas Grape_salad.

twice the pistons, twice the capacity, and power to weight ratio is almost exactly twice

the extra 100kg is taking some getting used to though!
