Yamaha Debuts 2012 Super Tenere



Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Yamaha has announced plans of importing its first traction-control-equipped machine into the U.S. market next year, but it will not be a sportbike. It will be the early-release 2012-model Super Tenere adventure touring/dual-sport machine, a model available only via the Pre-Delivery Deposit. Yamaha Debuts 2012 Super Tenere spec





Powered by an all-new, fuel-injected, liquid-cooled 1199cc Parallel Twin engine, the 2012 Super Tenere benefits from a wide-ratio six-speed transmission and shaft final drive system that complete the driveline.

The bike will also get the three-way-adjustable traction control (Off, TCS1/standard and TCS-2), Yamaha Chip Controlled - Throttle (YCC-T) drive-by-wire throttle, two D-Mode power delivery settings, a Unified Braking System and an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). specification



The engine is housed in a chassis that includes a high-tensile steel tube main frame, an aluminum subframe (ready for mounting optional hard luggage) and a cast aluminum swingarm. The solo rear shock, inverted 43mm forks, as well as the height of the seat and the touring windscreen are adjustable. specification



The bike rolls on a set of spoked wheels fitted with tubeless Bridgestone Battle Wing tires. It also benefits from a wide range of accessories, such as a full set of hard luggage options.



The Pre-Delivery Deposit program is, in fact, the same that was used with the 2010 Yamaha Star Vmax model. In other words, the 2012 Super Tenere will be available by special order only for $13,900. Deposits will be accepted from September 2010 until March 2011, with deliveries beginning in May 2011 on a first come-first served basis. spec specification
