Eventually stuff thrown at the wall will stick and someday there will be no new Super Tenere, but not today unless Yamaha changed their mind since July. Be patient.
Another thing to keep in mind is the unchanged model info release date is timed to have minimal impact on the current year models on hand. Why compete with themselves?
I will miss my 2013 if ever I replace it with a different model. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking, oh, and rattling too, lots and lots of rattling.
There has not been a new shaft drive model announced by any Japanese competition. I can't go back to chain, just can't do that. I like the shaft drive so much my Norton is gathering cobwebs.
I am torturing myself recently with visions of a 2024 FJR but on paper that does not bring a lot to the table. Over the 2013 Super Tenere the FJR adds hazard flashers, cruise, heated grips, led headlights, 2 more cylinders, some styling and about 60 pounds.
Reminds me of the old elephant joke punchline '60 pounds, a black dress and a mustache'.
The Super Tenere is a hard to beat bargain IMHO. It ticks a lot of boxes.
All the best.
