Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Using paper towels, pat pork tenderloin dry. Brush pork with 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper. On a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment, lay bacon strips side by side, overlapping slightly. Place pork tenderloin at one end of bacon slices and wrap all slices around tenderloin, securing with toothpicks if needed.

Place tenderloin in center of parchment, seam-side down. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining 3 tablespoons maple syrup and balsamic vinegar. Brush cut sides of pears with half of maple syrup mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Place pears cut-sides down on baking sheet.

Roast 30 to 35 minutes, until a meat thermometer placed in thickest part of pork reaches 145 degrees F. Remove pork from oven. Move oven rack 6 inches from broiler and set broiler to high. Broil tenderloin 3 to 5 minutes, until bacon is crisp and golden. Let pork rest 5 minutes. Slice pork and serve with pear halves along with remaining maple syrup mixture for drizzling.
