I'm trying to get my ideal bike, and the Tenere is definitely the blue-print for one. I love the off road ability. I used to race sports bike a lot on track and found that end cans even with a power commander don't give a huge amount (5bhp max), you need a full system, but i can't find anywhere that does racing downpipes along with cans.

I have been looking at the engine work off the road.de do. It looks like �1000 there would get 15-20bhp on the bike. My theoretical aim is to reduce the vibes at 80mph through gearing (3 off rear maybe 1 on front too) then compensate for the gearing with power mods. That should make the Tenere great in the mud and great for 8hr stints on the motorway to far flung places (i'm planning Iceland in June 2013 via orkney, shetland and faroe islands).
