cheers for the answers guys. so to sum up there are a few differences in the details, but the main stuff; frame, engine, gearbox are the same. i think its fair to say that the reliability and its 'bash-proofness' is thus pretty much the same between the tenere's and standard models.
Hope i run into a decent tenere and if not i might buy a standard xt600 and modify some stuff.
