I've got both a 2006 and a 2014, they're different bikes but both are phan-frickin-tastic! The 06 doesn't surge or run lean off throttle and has neither a power commander nor a revised throttle tube.
The one change I will make (since I've only had it a couple months) is to loosen the throttle return spring. That sucker is tough to take after a couple of hours riding.
I don't remember if you mentioned year or mileage on the tenere, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't find a lightly used 2013 that was close in value (didn't the super tenere and FJR have similar MSRP's)?
It's the beginning of winter, with a little persistence you should be able to secure a gentle used 2013 for under $10 grand. Hell, I bought my 2014 new for under 12 grand and that was from a dealer. Maybe things are different in "the great white north", but here in the middle atlantic states, a well maintained 2006 FJR should sell for about $5000, a 2008 should be in the low 7's. These are just my opinions and my better half will tell you that I'm wrong more often than right, but she doesn't know jack about bikes.
Don't sell your assets short. There's plenty of good deals to be found. You might want to consider a fly and ride too.
On my 2006, I want to do some more work to it before I sell (valve check, tires, plugs, tbs, cct, etc), but when I do offer her for sale in the spring or summer, she'll likely go for right around $5000. (I sold my damn near pristine 2005 with 51K and brand new PR2's for $4300 last May). They're amazing bikes, but I'm not seeing them as grotesquely expensive.
