I'm not opposed to big noses but do wonder how well that beak attaches to our bikes. I think the manuf is PowerBronze?

was not the origin of the "beak " BMW, to direct air to something that needed a little help. the Suzuki copied it and the rest is history .

IIRC, it was Suzuki who introduced the infamous “beak” on their DR Big and BMW copied it. I may be completely wrong, but I think it happened like that.

Wow I had no idea this was such a sensitive topic....some really get there “beaks” bent outta shape.

You are correct Longdog....Dr Big was first....winner winner....chicken dinner!!!
See how I carried on the “beak” theme there.

Boris, the Dr Big was Suzuki’s big DR bike back in the 80s-90s

What's cool about the Super Tenere (or any bike for that matter) is you can make it your own. Beak is not my style but some guys like them. Another popular modification was the 21" wheel conversion. Woodies Wheel made quite a few of them.

Bikes, and Jeeps probably have some of the largest aftermarket support for personalization. It often amuses me to what extent people go in personalizing each of them.
