Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere - Go beyond

26th February 2010 Print
Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere

Yamaha is very proud to announce an all-new model for 2010: the XT1200Z Super Tenere.

It is a go-anywhere adventure machine, built to go beyond the beaten track with spoked wheels, generous ground clearance and hardy engine protection. The entire design is tuned to keep the bike’s mass low and central for perfect balance and light, agile handling at speed. It’s packed with the technology to go beyond the norm, with intelligent Unified Brake System with ABS stopping power.

This all-new 1199cc in-line twin cylinder engine delivers big power and effortless torque in a slim, compact, well balanced package. It lets each rider choose the perfect balance of safety, speed and fun with a three-mode traction control system that can easily be turned off when it’s time for some rear wheel steering on a loose surface. And it's been relentlessly tested to ensure that it's in for the long haul and can cope with pretty much any challenge it has to face.

The new Super Tenere is the perfect partner when you need a motorcycle that can handle the extremes - the intelligent adventure travel bike

So go beyond:

1199cc inline 2-cylinder engine with 270-degree crank
