Heritage colours for Yamaha XT1200Z Super Ténéré

With the motorcycling season stretching out in front of us all to enjoy, Yamaha have announced a new colour in the XT1200Z Super Ténéré line up - Competition White - to arrive early spring.

Using the evocative Yamaha racing livery but on the most contemporary motorcycle in the Yamaha stable, this model's graphic treatment clearly celebrates the company's 50 years in racing. The company's adventure heritage was recently underpinned by Helder Rodregez, who secured a very brave 3rd position in the 2011 Dakar rally on his WR450F.

Listening to customers, Yamaha have made sure that there are a number of demonstrator XT1200Z Super Ténérés out in Yamaha dealerships right now. This will enable riders to experience for themselves, this versatile and exciting 1200cc parallel twin Adventure motorcycle. Interested parties should click on the 'Take a test ride' banner on Yamaha's home page - yamaha-motor.co.uk - to locate their nearest test bike.

Last year, the new model was launched via an internet reservation system. This year the bike can be ordered in the normal way, through the local Yamaha dealer.

With traction control, ABS and a linked braking system, the Super Ténéré is a controllable, enjoyable and exciting ride that should be experienced to be appreciated. Fill your boots!
