Rallye Tenere
 

Here's a Tenere prepped for a rallye in Marocco(courtesy of DTA, Dutch Tenere Association). Try to get more info&specs, but lookin' good, especially for you offroad-riders.

Er?????????????? That looks like a Tenere with the chain guard removed, Knobbly tyres, aftermarket bashplate, aftermarket cans, handguards and lots of stickers. Have I missed something or the point?
The standard Ten is not that far off the mark in any case. I didn't see anything that made me raise my eyebrows.
Just my tuppence worth or am I being cynical?:icon_exclaim:

I agree - more show than (much more) go - but it does look well with a few minor mods...?

I reckon you could enter in the standard/amateur class in something like the Tuareg rallye and do ok on a stock bike, but having ridden one (at times pretty hard) for the past six months, I feel I know what needs changing and what you could get away with to turn one into a decent rallye bike... certainly that guy is going to struggle in proper rallye conditions if those forks are stock - plus I see no steering damper and the wheels are the original (strong, but heavy) ones too...

But I'm not giving away all my secrets here just yet!

From the pic I can see an Ohlins rear spring, so possibly a near rear shock, if that has been done then it would be logical to do the forks as well, though I would be tempted to replace them with adjustable items.
A change in chain, but still running steel sprockets (?!) cutaway front sprocket guard, bars, guards, silencers, headlight guard and tyres. It also looks to have a different rear rim, possibly excel?
Things I am surprised at...
Why not de-cat the exhaust and run lighter pipes?
Why not have a radiator guard?
I still think it looks purty and stand by my Phwoar comment :)
