I didnt have any problems doing miles of fire roads in Europe and some light off roading. True it certainly does affect handling however I prefer to carry the gear I need and use rather than skip on comfort. The top box is full of light gear and the roll bag the same postion as a pillion. Its like riding with a pillion but I have ridden alot worse setups.

For full on off road I wouldnt pack so much but then again I wouldnt be on a Tenere.
