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.

I always liked the Elephant, unmolested they're like rocking horse 

[motoOzarks]

I like the last one best

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......

There's nothing wrong with that!!

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

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

the 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.

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  )

well in that case .............
