Overview
The Yamaha XT 1200ZE Super Tenere is an adventure motorcycle from the XT family, produced from 2015 through 2019. The 2019 model uses a 1199.0 cm³ liquid-cooled parallel-twin four-stroke engine producing 112 hp (84 kW) and 117 Nm at 6000 rpm, with a wet weight of 265 kg.
Its 845 mm seat puts the rider relatively high, while the 265 kg wet weight can make slow-speed maneuvers more demanding.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Shaft drive
The shaft final drive avoids routine chain cleaning and adjustment.
Adjustable suspension
Preload and damping adjustments at both ends let riders tune the suspension to their load and road conditions.
Long tank range
The 22.70-liter tank and estimated range of about 385 km allow substantial distance between fuel stops.
Things to consider
High seat
At 845 mm, the seat may make it harder for shorter riders to put both feet down securely.
Heavy at low speed
The 265 kg wet weight can take more effort to manage during parking and tight, slow maneuvers.
