YAMAHAXT 1200Z Super Tenere 2018 - Present

　　In 2018, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha XT 1200Z Super Tenere, an adventure machine manufactured from the ground up as an exciting next-generation adventure tourer, combining Yamaha's Dakar-bred toughness and reliability with easy handling and lots of rider assist technologies.

　　The bike debuted in 2010 and was the largest dual-sports machine part of the XT series, named after the Tenere, a region in the south-central Shara. It featured a multi-mode Traction Control System (TCS), an Electronic Throttle Control (YCC-T) that supported off-road use, combined brakes with ABS, and switchable engine mapping.

　　In the aesthetic department, the motorcycle featured standard elements, such as a dual headlight system, a medium-sized windscreen, hand guards, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a small luggage rack, and wire-spoke wheels.

　　All bits, pieces, and elements were mounted on a tube backbone steel frame. The frame was linked to a 43 mm inverted telescopic fork on the front and a link-type adjustable shock absorber on the rear, offering excellent suspension performance and handling.

　　The 2018 Yamaha XT 1200Z Super Tenere's power came from a 1,199cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge, delivering an output power of 112 hp at 7,250 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

　　The rear wheel was set in motion by a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-disc clutch and a final chain drive.
