Overview
The Yamaha XT 1200Z Super Tenere is an adventure motorcycle produced from 2011 to 2019. For 2019, its 1,199 cm³ parallel-twin four-stroke engine makes 113 hp (84 kW) and 117 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm, with a wet weight of 257 kg.
The 846 mm seat and 190 mm ground clearance give the bike a tall stance, while its 257 kg wet weight can make slow-speed maneuvering more demanding. A 23.1-liter tank and fuel consumption of 6.00 liters/100 km correspond to a calculated range of about 385 km; the shaft drive removes the need to clean or adjust a chain. Compared with 2015, the 2019 model is lighter, at 257.0 kg rather than 262.2 kg, and uses more fuel, at 6.00 rather than 5.50 liters/100 km.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Shaft final drive
The shaft drive means there is no chain to clean or adjust.
Long calculated range
The 23.1-liter tank gives a calculated range of about 385 km on a full tank.
Adjustable rear suspension
Preload and rebound damping adjustment let riders tune the rear suspension for load and riding conditions.
Things to consider
Tall seat
At 846 mm, the seat may make it harder for shorter riders to put both feet down at stops.
Substantial wet weight
The 257 kg wet weight can make low-speed handling and moving the bike around by hand more demanding.
