Vinyl is great if you want a complex design and graphics like in the video, but for a plain colour, painting is by far the cheapest...
Any bodyshop should be able to paint your bike tank and panels if you take the parts to them and tell them the colour/code you want...
For info, if you intend to paint the grey plastic parts on the Tenere, they will need a lot of sanding and filling to get a decent finish - and a really good key-primer to get it to stick to the flexy plastic.
I paid around �450 to have all my panels repainted (in 2009), although he admitted that with the work involved on the grey parts, he should have charged more.

Graphics - again any decent sign-writing shop should be able to print/cut you some speedblock stripes and the Yamaha logo in the colours you want - particularly if you have a photo to show them, they can usually work from that - pretty much every logo is available online these days as a vector file that can be manipulated as you wish, although there may be a cost to download the file if the shop doesn't already have it.
