Overview
The Yamaha XT 1200ZE/ES Super Tenere is an adventure motorcycle produced from 2014 to 2024. The 2024 model has a 1199.0 cm³ four-stroke parallel-twin engine producing 112 hp (84 kW) and 117.0 Nm of torque at 6000 rpm; its wet weight is 264.9 kg.
At 846 mm, the seat sits high, while the 264.9 kg wet weight can make low-speed maneuvering demanding.
