It would be an interesting experiment from a technical point of view perhaps, but it's not really going to have much effect on the overall weight of the bike?

I imagine the reason Yamaha fitted dual discs to the Tenere is they envisage much more two-up and/or with-luggage riding? - and it would seem a bit silly to compromise that for everyday riding?

The only reason I'm changing mine is to fit lighter wheels and stronger (hopefully a little lighter too) suspension as part of a serious upgrade... just taking one disc and caliper off a stock bike seems a bit pointless to me?!
