I grew up riding air-cooled BMW twins in Australia, and crossing the country on my R90/6 I would regularly cruise at 90-100mph. There was one time in outback Queensland I held it flat for 100 miles, average speed worked out to 112 mph.
My point being, I'd be shocked if a 2012 Super Ténéré couldn't perform the same task significantly more easily, and with less wear and tear, than a 1975 BMW.
They can take it, my fist S10 did alot of flatout runs and when I sold it on 47 000 km there was no sign of oil consumption or anything.
The main reason for my question is the heat on the exhaust, that same Akropovic was used on my first S10 and never did the sticker show signs of heat, ok on my first S10 the cat was removed.
So I came to the conclusion that the reason for that can be, a - normal wear of packing inside the Akropovic, b - cat not removed c - due to the diferent maping on the ZE (but I dont think so)
The reason for asking about wear on the engine was only for intresing because my knoledge tell me that running any engine trough the gears with high rpm's up and down wil cause more damage to the engine than constand high rpm.
So its not about that the S10 cant take it but more about the tecnical info involved,
