Hi Peter and welcome to the fold.

I shouldn't get too hung up on the height thing. Yes, you can fit lowering links, drop the forks and chop the seat, but you'd be surprised how many owners of shorter stature get on just fine with the Tenere in stock trim. Get a test ride and see how you get on (then buy one and ride some more!) After that you'll have a definitive idea of how it feels and know, rather than speculate, as to whether to lower or not.
