The eagerly anticipated Super Tenere has been on our minds for months now and finally Yamaha have released photos of the new machine, which features:
- Compact 1199cc parallel twin with 110PS
- Shaft drive
- USD forks/easy adjust rear shock
- 270 degree crank
- YCC-T, 3-stage traction control and D-Mode map feature
- ABS
- Unified Braking System
Yamaha began with a clean sheet and a clear vision to design the Super Tenere - the intelligent adventure travel bike. They started with a big, powerful engine - using an inline 2-cylinder layout to keep the bike compact and narrow - and a 270-degree crank for superb feel at the throttle.
They have kept the mass low and central for light, agile handling from walking pace on a rocky trail to attack velocity in the twisties. They built it tough, with spoked rims and inbuilt engine protection for offroad adventures. They made it comfortable and practical for long-haul touring. And they loaded it with the latest in rider assist technology for exceptional safety and confidence.
Adventure travelling takes skill, courage and endurance - as well as faith in your machine. Faith that it’ll love rocky river crossings and dirt roads as much as you do. Faith that it’s going to be comfortable on a long freeway haul. Faith that it’s got what it takes to carve up twisty mountain roads.
The all-new Yamaha Super Tenere is built from the ground up to be the most exciting next-generation adventure tourer, combining Yamaha’s Dakar-bred toughness and reliability with light, easy handling and advanced rider assist technology.
For 2010 the Super Tenere is only available as a special 'first edition' version, including a thrilling adventure pack. For further details please phone Bridge on 01392 260200.
