Default Secrets Yamaha's 1200cc Super Tenere revealed.

The Super Tenere has been ready for launch since the Tokyo Motor Show in October.


Quote:
No images have been released yet, but we now know a lot more about the bike's fine details – the 1200cc parallel twin will have a 270 degree crank (for a v-twin feel) a similar parallel twin to the current TDM900 and the TRX850 “faux Ducati” of the nineties – a motor with the feel of a v-twin, only this one will have 1200 cc of capacity and is designed to compete with the BMW GS Adventure and Ducati Multistrada.
It will use Yamaha's YCC-T ride-by-wire throttle, have switchable engine-mapping, traction control, three-position anti-lock braking, a Unified Braking System that links the front and rear brakes.
The radiators for the Super Tenere will be side-mounted, and final drive will be a hypoid gearshaft.
