I think that's a combination of two things:

1) The Tenere headers wrap round to the left hand side of the engine, so the logical place for a single exhaust is on the left. Experience conditions us to find this a bit odd. A bike with a single can on the right doesn't look strange, because we expect that.

2) The stock moulded plastic tail-light/number plate hanger design on the Ten' screams "there should be two cans here".
