Cool stuff. My riding buddy has an old Super Tenere, the only one I have ever seen in the flesh. Interesting how similar the visage of a Steamer is to it.

Interesting that they note the steamer as 'rare'....

Saw a bloke at Fowlers in Bristol last year on an XLV750  (shaft drive fore-runner of the AT), looked strangely nice

Its the twin round headlamps that do it for me, apply Freudian discourse here......

even more interesting that they say it has a 21 inch front wheel

Quote from: whoeverwrotethisdrivelthe 900 Tiger, like all early Hinckley bikes, is a variant of its modular three and four-cylinder machines made possible by the addition of a newly-legalised plastic fuel tank complete with integral fairing, longer travel suspension plus MX bars and off-road wire wheels and semi-knobblies with a 21-incher at the front. Mongrel as that sounds, it was actually a decent bike thanks to its grunty, detuned, 85bhp triple and Triumph's characteristic decent handling. Rare today though...

C'mon Mustang. Everyone's entitled to exagerate by a couple of inches. :augie

I find theres a similarity to the steamer with all the twin h/light models... It was my search for a Tenere which brough me to my steamer, I had no luck finding one at a reasonable price at that time - but I'm glad I was steered in this direction now (I think  :icon_scratch:)
