I did over 60000km on a an old 750 super tenere before getting the pony. I don't miss the extra weight but the extra power and beeing able to cruise from city speed to topspeed in 5th gear.

An MT07 based tenere has the power of the old S.T. but should not be much heavier than the current single cylinder....

But again i don't know the size of the market for another F800GS competitor - it is not as big as the one for the really big ones ....
