We completely loved the 2012 Yamaha Super Ténéré whenever we rode it this past year (yeah..perform the math on individuals amounts). Correctly thrashing the equipment with the borders of Sedona, Arizona, the large-displacement Super T is fun adventure-tourer that balances Japanese bang-for-the-buck financial aspects having a robust set of features normally reserved just for European machines.
So it’s tough to imagine how Yamaha could enhance a previously fine motorcycle (we guess the tuning fork brand could provide the Super Ténéré away free of charge), however the Japanese manufacturer accomplished it using its Yamaha Super Ténéré Worldcrosser concept.
A far more rugged and off-road oriented variant from the Super T, the 2012 Yamaha Super Ténéré Worldcrosser appeared too-polished, and definitely too well accepted to prevent starting production, and affirmed, we now have become word today that Yamaha has eco-friendly-lit the Worldcrosser for production (we’ll take one out of competition whitened, please).
Donned with protective covers, extra aluminum and carbon pieces, not to mention knobby tires, the Yamaha Super Ténéré Worldcrosser is definitely an imposing you’ll need your eyes. In the end known as the bottom Super Ténéré a motorbike that leaned more towards the on-road side from the adventure-touring equation, the Super Ténéré Worldcrosser appears to visit another way using its true-to-the-title raison d’être. Initially obtainable in Europe beginning March 2012, it isn’t obvious when/when the Worldcrosser can come to US soil (we’d be highly surprised whether it didn’t though).
Beginning MSRP within the EU is going to be €15,690, as well as for individuals that do not discover the 2012 Yamaha Super Ténéré Worldcrosser to become a robust enough package, Yamaha can also be providing the Yamaha Super Ténéré Worldcrosser R, which includes some choose aftermarket Yamaha parts (namely a titanium Akrapovic exhaust can and much more carbon fibre goodness) in a 20% reduced cost.
