2017 Yamaha Super Ténéré ABS

2017 Yamaha Super Ténéré ABS

The Super Ténéré comes with a prestigious lineage of success at the famous Paris to Dakar Rally. In fact, Yamaha won the first ever event in 1978 and followed that up with 8 other victories at the world's most gruelling rally.

The Super Ténéré comes standard with anodized, aluminum side cases. With a capacity of 32L, these water resistant cases are capable of carrying and protecting just about anything you throw at them. The one-key fits all operating systems also means you won't have to worry about extra keys.

The Super Ténéré is built for adventure, with an exceptionally narrow and compact 1199cc parallel twin using a unique 270° crank for excellent torque and traction. Engine mass is kept low for surprisingly light, agile handling. Its wide-ratio 6-speed transmission has the right gear, whether on the open highway or off-road. Your adventure begins here. *2016 model shown.

Whether touring across North America, carving up a twisty road or exploring a deserted fire road, the Super Ténéré is guaranteed to provide the highest levels of comfort, convenience and performance that riders have come to expect from Yamaha.
