![]() Yamaha's drip-feed of information about the new 1200cc parallel twin Super Tenere continues. The latest press release for the bike – which will rival the BMW R1200GS, new Ducati Multistrada and Triumph Tiger – contains a silhouette showing the headlight design is more R1 than XT660 Tenere. The twin lights are side-by-side (rather than stacked as per the 660 Tenere) and appear to have R1-style projector bulb units. The silhouette also shows boxy off-road-style panniers, reinforcing Yamaha’s hints that the bike will be going head-to-head to with BMW’s R1200GS, rather than aiming at Ducati’s more road-biased new Multistrada. Super Ten technical highlights we already know about are: - 3-mode ABS - shaft drive - linked brakes - switchable engine maps - ride-by-wire throttle - traction control - side-mounted radiators. Given recent increases to Yamaha’s prices (the new R1 costs £12,499, new R6 is £9000), it’s difficult to estimate the new Super Tenere’s price when it arrives later this year. Our current bet is £11,000. More info at: [Only registered can see links. ] source: Motorcycles News |

Not a bad idea for the "older crowd". Personally I don't know releasing a bike in these $hitty economic times. I think they should hold off a little bit seeing how even a basic bike is not selling so why come out with something that will drown even more dealers?
