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. Fuel consumption is 5.90 L/100 km, and the 22.70-liter tank gives an estimated range of about 385 km; shaft drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment, while adjustable suspension and ABS provide useful control over varied surfaces.

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.
