It has been stated here in the past the Tenere is not ideal when loaded up for 2 up riding/touring power wise. Its got the same engine as the R so you basically you already know what it will feel like bearing in mind the Tenere weighs more. Braking wise the Tenere has a double front disc so it should be better than the R on road. The seat looks ok to me for the pillion as well, ironically the riders section of the seat IMHO is poor so a reprofiling may be needed but may affect the pillions section.
