Do I keep my new Tenere?

Hi all,
Just bought a 2010 ten with 19k miles on it. I come from a background of custom bikes and old twin racers. Ive had a few trail bikes and Mx and trials bikes over the years but have been hankering after an ADV bike for a while.
Its bloody ace!! I absolutely love it and instantly felt at home. I put my hand in my pocket straight away for a new exhaust, tyres etc and intend to focus on performance mods to get that little more punch.
The question is....Should I keep it?
I already feel like im in this for the long haul but Im on the cusp of throwing a load of money at it already. Should I sell it and get back what I paid? then... invest a bit more and buy a low miler before I start fully speccing it up.
Two considerations, how long will it last me with that kind of miles (assuming ill be hitting 10-15k per year) and will it be worth nothing once its up to, say 50k miles, if I want to upgrade then?
