2014 Yamaha Super Ténéré Review

Опубликовано 3 апреля 2014, 1:35

Yamaha's Super Ténéré barged into the big-bore adventure-touring market in 2012, gunning for the A-T juggernaut that is BMW's R1200GS. Its 1199cc parallel-Twin motor was a good match for BMW's air/oil-cooled GS, using a unique 270-degree crank-pin offset to deliver traction-enhancing output in the dirt. The Super Ten's off-road capability was on par with the GS, and its on-road comfort was far superior to KTM's dirt-focused 990 Adventure.

But then the goal posts moved, first with the introduction of the wonderfully balanced liquid-cooled R1200GS and then with the debut of KTM's fabulously fast 1190 Adventure. The bright lights from the Euro bikes cast a big shadow.

But upgrades to the 2014 edition of the Ténéré aim to bring the spotlight back to team Yamaha, with an emphasis on rider comfort, improved wind protection, updated instrumentation and standard cruise control, plus a host of other minor tweaks including a new cylinder head. Tidy LED turn signals are a visual clue you're looking at the new 2014 edition.
