YAMAHA XT1200Z SUPER TÉNÉRÉ

Released in Europe as a limited-production 2010 model, Yamaha’s latest Open-class adventure bike is unlikely to come to the U.S. anytime soon. The XT1200Z Super Ténéré is powered by a 1200cc parallel-Twin with a six-speed gearbox and shaft final drive. Features include ABS, YCC-T ride-by-wire throttle with threestage traction control and three selectable power modes.

Here, the XT1200Z is pictured with aluminum sidecases and skidplate that come standard on the “First Edition” model. Pricing in the U.K. is the equivalent of $20,900.
