This is the news I have been waiting for.
I really liked the concept of the old Super Tenere, the XTZ750 that competed with the original Africa Twin.
Adventure bikes are always going to be a compromise and we'll never all agree on the perfect one (how dull would that be) but for my 'adventures' I like a bike that can munch the motorway miles but still be reasonably good off-road at my destination. It needs a 21" front wheel and it needs to weigh less than a bus.
So when I read the first reports about the zippy, torquey, characterful and fuel efficient engine in the MT-07 I was just hoping that one day they'd decide to Terenify it. Seems it's going to happen in the next year or two.
