The Yamaha XT 1200Z Super Tenere was an adventure-touring motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha in 2010. It was the largest dual-sports machine of the XT series and was named after the Tenere, a region in the south-central Shara.
The bike was equipped with 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 2018, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha XT 1200ZE Super Tenere, a motorcycle fitted with everything a rider needs to leave the urban jungle and head to the horizon line.
The bike had standard features such as a half fairing, 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.
In the performance department, the 2018 Yamaha XT 1200ZE Super Tenere had installed 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 bike was made around a tube backbone steel frame with 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 braking power was handled by two 310 mm wave discs on the front wheel and a 282 mm wave disc on the rear wheel, coupled to hydraulic calipers.
