Thanks everyone for your very helpful input. It is clear Super Tenere owners are very happy with their bikes. Hopefully I can find a clean used bike soon in my area!
I put 112,000 miles on my '97 Royal Star Tour Classic. Cruisers can be a beautiful way to travel, especially two up. I've got more room for 'stuff' on the Tenere though.
Oh, and yes, I'd get another Tenere in a heart beat.
