The standard Ten is not that far off the mark in any case. I didn't see anything that made me raise my eyebrows.
Just my tuppence worth or am I being cynical?

I agree - more show than (much more) go - but it does look well with a few minor mods...?
I reckon you could enter in the standard/amateur class in something like the Tuareg rallye and do ok on a stock bike, but having ridden one (at times pretty hard) for the past six months, I feel I know what needs changing and what you could get away with to turn one into a decent rallye bike... certainly that guy is going to struggle in proper rallye conditions if those forks are stock - plus I see no steering damper and the wheels are the original (strong, but heavy) ones too...
But I'm not giving away all my secrets here just yet!
