&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Yamaha’s new go-anywhere machine is inspired by the Sahara. Our writer appreciates its talents in rather cooler conditions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.timesonline.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00717/Bike2385_717368a.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;153&quot; qu=&quot;true&quot; src=&quot;http://www.timesonline.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00717/Bike2385_717368a.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;The name Super Ténéré is supposed to evoke images of sand dunes and scorching sunshine — the Ténéré being a particularly inhospitable area of the Sahara. Right now that seems a bad joke: on a mountain pass in France’s Massif Central, the weather has taken an unseasonal turn for the worse and snow is sticking to my visor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;It’s early afternoon on the second day of the Yamaha’s launch. The 18 riders in our group are on identical XT1200Z Super Ténérés, and up here on the 4,039ft Col de Légal the dry heat of the desert is far from anyone’s mind. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;At least, if I have to be riding a new bike, the Super Ténéré is not a bad choice. It is truly &lt;strong&gt;a bike for all seasons&lt;/strong&gt;. This is a &lt;strong&gt;rugged, go-anywhere machine&lt;/strong&gt;, inspired by the 1990s model of the same name, which conquered the Sahara’s Ténéré region and took seven wins in the gruelling Dakar rally.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;This 1199cc Super Ténéré, much bigger than its 750cc predecessor, was created to compete with BMW’s R1200GS, familiar to bike enthusiasts as a kind of two-wheeled Range Rover. Like the BMW, the Yamaha has twin cylinders. Unlike BMW’s air-cooled, horizontally aligned boxer engine, the Yamaha’s cylinders are arranged vertically and cooled by water. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;The Yamaha is as &lt;strong&gt;tough&lt;/strong&gt; as a three-day-old baguette, especially when kitted out with &lt;strong&gt;sturdy aluminium pannier cases&lt;/strong&gt;, matching the &lt;strong&gt;bash-plate&lt;/strong&gt; that protects the underneath of its engine. &lt;strong&gt;Handguards&lt;/strong&gt; on the wide handlebar add to the &lt;strong&gt;indestructible feel&lt;/strong&gt;. And although the Yamaha is tall, and heavy at 261kg, it’s &lt;strong&gt;a doddle to ride&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Its &lt;strong&gt;108bhp motor is excellent&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;strong&gt;powerful, flexible&lt;/strong&gt; and with an engagingly &lt;strong&gt;sweet-revving&lt;/strong&gt; character that you don’t always get with parallel twins. As we headed south on the autoroute from Paris, the Super Ténéré chugged along effortlessly at 80mph, with plenty of acceleration towards a top speed of 130mph. At motorway speeds you are thankful for the small screen that keeps the bitter wind off your chest. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Despite its hard-man image the Super Ténéré is a &lt;strong&gt;sophisticated bike&lt;/strong&gt;. Its frame is made from simple steel tubes but the bike’s list of high-tech features includes an &lt;strong&gt;adjustable traction control&lt;/strong&gt; system to reduce the chance of rear-wheel slides. There’s also a &lt;strong&gt;choice of fuel maps&lt;/strong&gt;, allowing you to alter engine performance by changing the mix of fuel and air: “sport” for hard riding or “touring” for a softer throttle response.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Off the autoroute and onto winding roads and the bike’s handling comes under scrutiny. It &lt;strong&gt;carved through the turns&lt;/strong&gt; in response to gentle pressure on the handlebars, &lt;strong&gt;feeling lighter and more agile than I’d expected&lt;/strong&gt; from its statistics. Under hard cornering, though, its long-travel suspension felt rather soft and vague.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;One thing the Yamaha lacks is the R1200GS’s option of electronically adjustable suspension, which allows instant fine-tuning from the saddle. Although the Super Ténéré’s remote rear-suspension adjustment knob was useful, it was a poor substitute. But I had no complaint about the bike’s &lt;strong&gt;powerful linked disc brake system&lt;/strong&gt;, which, backed up by antilock braking, was reassuring when rain made the roads slippery. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Normally I’d be glad of the 23-litre fuel tank’s generous range of almost 200 miles. Instead, I was counting down the miles until we stopped at a service station to wring out sodden gloves and warm fingers on hand-dryers. Fortunately, the &lt;strong&gt;Yamaha’s broad seat&lt;/strong&gt; is as comfortable as a chaise longue, so it &lt;strong&gt;didn’t add to the pain of an 11-hour day&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;It is &lt;strong&gt;off the tarmac &lt;/strong&gt;that this &lt;strong&gt;bike really shines&lt;/strong&gt;. On bumpy, potholed dirt tracks, the Yamaha’s suspension and tyres ploughed through with impressive ease. Any machine this big and heavy is bound to be unwieldy off road, but the Super Ténéré’s blend of flexible engine, capable chassis and tough character made it fun on the dirt tracks — until the mountain fog turned to snow. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;In Britain the Super Ténéré &lt;strong&gt;comes with a range of optional accessories&lt;/strong&gt; including a bigger screen and heated handlebar grips. The aluminium bash-plate and panniers are standard on this First Edition version, which can be ordered now from Yamaha for £13,499. A cheaper, basic model will be available through dealers next year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;For that price I’d expect hot grips as standard, especially as the proven R1200GS can be equipped with those plus other useful accessories for less money. But Yamaha’s newcomer is a &lt;strong&gt;fine and distinctive machine&lt;/strong&gt; that &lt;strong&gt;gives the BMW serious opposition&lt;/strong&gt; as a &lt;strong&gt;commuter, tourer or globe-shrinking all-rounder&lt;/strong&gt;. Yamaha has &lt;strong&gt;donated five&lt;/strong&gt; of these &lt;strong&gt;bikes to Riders for Health&lt;/strong&gt;, which provides healthcare by motorbike in several African countries. This two-wheeled camel should prove ideal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Big, torquey and tough: the new Super Ten is more than ready to tackle its adventure-loving rivals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;It’s obvious why Yamaha decided to create a new generation Super Ténéré with a 1200cc twin-cylinder engine. The only surprise is that the Japanese firm has taken until now to come up with a successor to &lt;strong&gt;the original 750cc Super Ténéré, which dominated the Dakar Rally in the 1990s&lt;/strong&gt; – long before BMW’s R1200GS showed that big dual-purpose bikes can sell in enormous numbers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mortons.mortonsmedia.net/media/u/298_350243509.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; qu=&quot;true&quot; src=&quot;http://mortons.mortonsmedia.net/media/u/298_350243509.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot; class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Ducati’s super-powerful Multi- strada 1200 has already arrived this year to add to the mix. &lt;strong&gt;Yamaha’s 1199cc contender is&lt;/strong&gt; a more &lt;strong&gt;direct rival for BMW&lt;/strong&gt;, with a similar chunky image and blend of on- and off-road ability. Like the GS engine, the Yamaha’s has twin pots and shaft final drive. But in Yamaha tradition it’s a liquid-cooled parallel twin, with a max output of 108bhp that is almost identical to the &lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;boxer’s&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Is it a genuine all-rounder?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;It’s certainly &lt;strong&gt;built for versatility and adventure&lt;/strong&gt;, especially in this initial Special Edition form, which includes an aluminium bash-plate and matching panniers. Yamaha say production numbers are limited this year, so they’ve decided to sell only this upmarket version. The basic Super Ténéré will be available next year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Yamaha chose a suitably advent-urous press launch, too: a trip from Paris to Marrakech in Morocco, using a succession of riders, after which five of the bikes would be presented to motorcycling charity Riders for Health. I joined the first leg and the Yamaha felt big, &lt;strong&gt;torquey and tough&lt;/strong&gt; as I cut through Parisian rush-hour traffic on the first morning, heading for the mountains of the Massif Central.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;What’s it like out of town?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Although the Yam is tall, and quite heavy at 261kg wet, it’s &lt;strong&gt;very easy to ride&lt;/strong&gt;. The &lt;strong&gt;motor is superbly flexible&lt;/strong&gt; and has an appealing, &lt;strong&gt;smooth-revving character&lt;/strong&gt;, thanks partly to its balancer shafts and 270º crankshaft layout. Heading south on the autoroute, the Super Ten chugged along effortlessly at 80mph, with acceleration in hand towards a top speed of about 130mph, and with the small, height-adjustable screen helping keep the wind off my chest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Despite its hard-man image the &lt;strong&gt;Super Ténéré is very sophisticated&lt;/strong&gt;. Its frame is made from simple steel tubes but the list of high-tech electronic features includes YCC-T &lt;strong&gt;ride-by-wire throttle control &lt;/strong&gt;with a choice of two maps, plus &lt;strong&gt;adjustable traction control&lt;/strong&gt; and a &lt;strong&gt;linked, ABS&lt;/strong&gt;-equipped brake system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;How about the chassis?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Handling was pretty good, after we’d turned off the autoroute onto winding roads heading towards Clermont-Ferrand. The Yam &lt;strong&gt;carved through the turns&lt;/strong&gt; feeling lighter and more agile than I’d expected, though under hard cornering its long-travel suspension felt a bit vague – not surprisingly, as there’s a generous 190mm of travel at each end. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;One thing the Yamaha lacks, unlike the GS and Multi, is the option of electronically adjustable suspension. Although the Super Ten’s remote rear suspension adjustment knob is a handy feature, it’s not the same thing at all. But I liked the powerful linked disc brake set-up, whose efficient ABS system was welcome when rain made the roads slippery.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;On a long trip I’d normally be glad of the &lt;strong&gt;23-litre tank’s near 200-mile range&lt;/strong&gt;. Instead, in the cold and wet I was glad when the tank ran low, giving me a chance to warm up. Fortunately the Yamaha’s broad &lt;strong&gt;seat was very comfortable&lt;/strong&gt; so didn’t add to the pain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;What’s it like off-road?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Better than I’d expected for such a big, heavy bike. As well as being torquey and well-suspended enough to hold its own on the dirt, the Super Ténéré is as &lt;strong&gt;tough as a French farmer’s tractor&lt;/strong&gt;. It was &lt;strong&gt;great on&lt;/strong&gt; the second day, on &lt;strong&gt;bumpy, potholed dirt tracks&lt;/strong&gt; that the suspension and tyres dealt with impressively.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Any bike this big and weighty is bound to be challenging off-road at times, but the Super Ténéré’s blend of flexible engine and capable chassis made it fun; at least until the snow began.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Fortunately we were soon back on the main road and splashing towards the second night’s stop in Toulouse, where my trip ended while the bikes carried on towards Africa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Does the Ténéré hit the spot?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Yes, definitely. This Special Edition, which comes with non road-legal headlight protector as well as the bash-plate and panniers, is being sold exclusively via the Internet for £13,499.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;That’s quite expensive, given that the proven R1200GS can be equipped with extras including electronically adjustable suspension for less.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;However, a cheaper, basic Super Ténéré will be sold via Yamaha dealers in the normal way next year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Unless you’re desperate, it might make sense to hang on until then. But &lt;strong&gt;Yamaha’s classy newcomer is a serious rival for the mighty GS&lt;/strong&gt;, with the advantage of being fresh and distinctive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;265&quot; qu=&quot;true&quot; src=&quot;http://lh6.ggpht.com/_EGL9dNcNRzY/S_2p-vqKraI/AAAAAAAABPU/LTwUZ2NgYjQ/s400/P1010044.JPG&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Having ridden approaching 3000km on the XT1200z (and being an owner of a TRX engined old super tenere) I have a fair impression on what they ride like. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Initially I was a little disappointed. The engine seemed rather wheezy and down on power to the claimed 110hp. In fact I&#39;d go as far as saying a seat of the pants feel left me thinking it didn’t have much more power than my XTZ850 (which runs at 85hp (ish) at the rear wheel). I guestimate a round 90hp @ the rear wheel for the 1200. I also suspect that the shaft drive is sapping a fair chunk of power but the wheeziness is down to ever tighter emission regulations. A power commander and an Akrapovich system will transform the performance I have no doubt. I understand that Yamaha and Akropovich work closely together and the system has already been developed. A Power commander will also be required as the ECU won’t take kindly to having the Cat removed without some trickery. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lh4.ggpht.com/_smTqGu6gu5I/S_pmY0l-vUI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/oOoPhh220sc/s1600/IMG_4926.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;cssfloat: left; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; qu=&quot;true&quot; src=&quot;http://lh4.ggpht.com/_smTqGu6gu5I/S_pmY0l-vUI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/oOoPhh220sc/s400/IMG_4926.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;That said, &lt;strong&gt;the bike&#39;s no slouch&lt;/strong&gt;, its no sports bike but &lt;strong&gt;the power delivery is smooth across the rev range&lt;/strong&gt; with only a slight dip around 4.5k. &lt;strong&gt;Overtakes were a breeze&lt;/strong&gt; and I had the bike up to 220kmh on a few occasions in the desert. Some claimed they saw as high as 230kmh with the bikes loaded up with panniers and top box.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;It wasn’t until the second day of riding the bike that I began to not be concerned about the engine and really started appreciating what it was about. The seat was without doubt &lt;strong&gt;the most comfortable seat&lt;/strong&gt; I&#39;ve ever sat on a bike of this type. The riding position was very natural when seated. &lt;strong&gt;8 hours in the saddle and no aches or pains&lt;/strong&gt; at all, blooming brilliant. When stood up on the pegs, I felt the pegs could have been half an inch or so further back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lh5.ggpht.com/_smTqGu6gu5I/S_pnUjBk-KI/AAAAAAAAAJg/Y70gJ1dvSf8/s1600/IMG_2622.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;cssfloat: left; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; qu=&quot;true&quot; src=&quot;http://lh5.ggpht.com/_smTqGu6gu5I/S_pnUjBk-KI/AAAAAAAAAJg/Y70gJ1dvSf8/s400/IMG_2622.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;On day two I began to suspect that the traction control system was affecting power delivery. With the traction control system turned off the bike did indeed feel a little bit more responsive however I soon learnt why.... Unknown to me until I turned the traction control off was how slippery the road surfaces were. It was as if the tarmac had been polished smooth by all the airborne dust and sand. The fact that I found I could get the back end to step out at will now on the bends wasn’t because I had found an extra 20 horses at all, it was because the roads were so damn slippery and the traction control system had been quite rightly stopping me from doing something stupid. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;By the end of the five day ride I was convinced. The &lt;strong&gt;traction control system is the dogs bollox&lt;/strong&gt;. If you&#39;re brave enough, you can hit the apex of a bend on full lean and just open the throttle wide and&lt;strong&gt; put your faith in the traction control&lt;/strong&gt; which will &lt;strong&gt;provide the maximum amount of power&lt;/strong&gt; down possible without letting you lose traction &lt;strong&gt;with no drama and no fuss&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; qu=&quot;true&quot; src=&quot;http://lh5.ggpht.com/_G7O8mvbPr74/S__Liq-zduI/AAAAAAAAANI/1STplZKsKck/s400/SANY0269.JPG&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;brakes I could not fault&lt;/strong&gt;. I&#39;m not a fan of linked brakes generally but these seem to have been given a great deal of thought. Apply the front only and it&#39;ll apply the brakes at about 50/50 fr/r. Apply the back brake only and it&#39;ll work independently. The ABS system is the best I&#39;ve tried on a bike. Very smooth indeed, no pulsing no noise; in fact it’s quite hard to tell it’s even coming on. I found I could steam into a tight gravel strewn bend, and apply the back brake hard mid corner and other than a little squirm from the back end this deliberate act of stupidity was corrected automatically by the bikes advanced traction and braking systems. I did notice that the extra confidence this gave probably increased our road speeds so rather than making the bike safer, this technology might actually in increase risk. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;The bikes &lt;strong&gt;handling was also surprisingly good&lt;/strong&gt;. A very neutral and planted feel compared to all other adventure style bikes I&#39;ve tried. I like the 19&quot; front wheel setup as it allows for much sharper steering and a more sports bike feel yet for the relatively sedate pace of offroading a bike like this, I don’t think the smaller wheel size is much of an impact. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; qu=&quot;true&quot; src=&quot;http://lh6.ggpht.com/_F1JwhOjYiQo/S_4inrC9G-I/AAAAAAAAAG8/UiFOzGnM82A/s400/RFL-Wolfram174.JPG&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;To give a little insight, on day one when we rode from Lisbon to Jerez when we got to the mountain roads a group of three of us left the main pack and were hot on the heels of &lt;strong&gt;Randy Mamola&lt;/strong&gt; who was clearly &lt;strong&gt;having an absolute ball&lt;/strong&gt; throwing the bike around. &lt;strong&gt;Pegs and panniers scraping&lt;/strong&gt; using all of the road and &lt;strong&gt;blasting past absolutely everything&lt;/strong&gt; for two hours straight with the &lt;strong&gt;throttles pinned&lt;/strong&gt; at every opportunity and the ABS light blinking away on every approach it was a ride I&#39;ll never forget. I feel very privileged to have had that opportunity and not once in that ride did I yearn to be astride a lightweight sports bike (which should speak volumes).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;171&quot; qu=&quot;true&quot; src=&quot;http://supertenere.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/rfl_day3_selec-51.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Off-road, it was... erm.... interesting. The bikes were shod with road tyres which by that point we&#39;d pretty much wrecked (yes, front and back tyres trashed in 3000 miles), so riding in sand required a great amount of concentration to stay right side up. The bike felt easier to ride than my XTZ850 but harder than my KLR650 off-road. The suspension was a little too soft on the front and I managed to bottom out the forks a couple of times but the backend was surprisingly capable. Ground clearance might become an issue under extreme circumstances as I managed to ground the sump guard once after a heavy landing. As you can see in one of the videos, &lt;strong&gt;Helder Rodruigez&lt;/strong&gt; managed to take his stock XT1200 with bald tyres &lt;strong&gt;up and over some pretty large dunes&lt;/strong&gt; so it’s not so much what you ride but how good you are at it.... and he is extremely good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; qu=&quot;true&quot; src=&quot;http://lh6.ggpht.com/_smTqGu6gu5I/S_pmtOnb3SI/AAAAAAAAAGo/rzXyX-m-S7s/s400/IMG_2602.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Speaking with someone that worked on the bikes development (also a Dakar rider), I was assured the bike was going to be like the new FJ1300 in that the modern technology improvements and tighter tolerances combined with modern oils meant that these &lt;strong&gt;new engines will be totally reliable&lt;/strong&gt; and capable of achieving really really high mileages with out problem. The bikes had also been tested to &lt;strong&gt;run on low quality fuel&lt;/strong&gt; and even the &lt;strong&gt;cat would shrug off&lt;/strong&gt; having to use &lt;strong&gt;leaded fuel&lt;/strong&gt;. It was quite lengthy and frank conversation I had and I was left feeling quite positive and assured that I wasn’t being spun a yarn and that Yamaha had spent a considerable time getting this right. (4 years of development allegedly) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;There are one or two design flaws I spotted, the first being the panniers which although they look aluminium are actually plastic - which on two bikes were broken off in a relatively low speed tumble.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Another one which may or may not be a problem was the frame design on the LHS where it had to be bent around the output shaft in order to clear it. Certainly my limited engineering exposure made me double take when I saw it as it was clearly something that gave Yamaha a few headaches. Whether the design proves to be strong enough or not, only time will tell. Let’s hope they learnt from the previous Super Tenere&#39;s incarnation (where the frames snap in a similar place). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Oh, one more snippet.... Despite the Yamaha official advice, the ABS system can be turned off completely for riding offroad. It requires the removal of a fuse on the same circuit as the speedo. Thanks to the non canbus system it should be pretty easy to farkle a simple switch to isolate just the ABS so that it can be deactivated when required.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Would I buy one? I must say I had to think this through as &lt;strong&gt;my heart was telling me to go straight down to the dealer and get one&lt;/strong&gt; ordered. My head however is telling me to wait a little and see where the prices go. I suspect that in a year or so the 14,000 Euro price tag will drop somewhat especially when one considers that you can buy a similarly equipped 1200 Bandit for half that money. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Hell I could buy a brand new BKing and have change to buy a 1150GS to go along side. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;I will own one at some point but my pockets aren&#39;t deep enough to swallow the depreciation I suspect the first editions will suffer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;I wouldn&#39;t be surprised however if in years to come the &lt;strong&gt;XT1200Z will prove to be the thinking mans adventure motorcycle of choice&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
