XTZ to R?
Bear with me on this as I am just thinking out loud.
I have a F800GS and a 660 Tenere (not an XTZ!!!), the Tenere was supposed to have gone last year but I'm quite attached to her now. That said I really want a lighter, more wet greasy Kent green lane, type of bike. The off road market seems to be dominated by high performance motocross type bikes who's service interval is measured in hours, not thousands of miles! I've looked at DRZs but in the main they are going for silly money for an old (er) bike and I'd have to sell the Ten at a time when the market seems awash with them (14 on ebay at the mo).
So, anyone stripped back a Ten to the bare bones? Maybe an R tank and instrument cluster.
And yes I know plenty of people on here green lane the Ten as is, as have I in dryish conditions but I'd prefer something lighter. Any ideas? Or am I completely off the mark with this?
