Yes... for one you will be able to give your clutch hand a rest as a twin produces less hp but more torque
and you won't have to be constantly shifting to stay in the powerband.

I think Nanook went from a TDM900 to a CBF1000 back to a TDM900 IIRC.
But problems if you use the search function you should find plenty to go with. The only thing I can think off the top of my head is Batteries can take a beating on the TDM900.
