It's a shame it looks nothing like those conceptual photo's........ Just another heavy road bike.

**cooneyr** · 25th February 2010, 12:29

Dissapointed, very disapointed. This bike certainly does not appear to qualify for the Super Tenere badge. "Upgraded" TDM maybe. It's just another V Strom/Varedo/GS.

261kg wet!!! 19 inch front wheel with a 110 wide tyre. 190mm suspension travel, side mounted radiators,

Lets just say I'm bloody glad I didnt pass up on the 950 Adv to wait for it (not that I'd ever be able to afford a new one but you get the idea). Hell I'd rather have kept and upgraded my old XT750Z than bought that ..... thing!

Back to the drawing board Yamaha!

it may as well be a road bike, covered in plastic, it weighs more than my vf1000, which is saying something as thats a bloody tank
another disappointing "all terrain" bike, pah.

**Squiggles** · 25th February 2010, 13:38

concept pics were far better

**scracha** · 25th February 2010, 17:21

Wait till they bring out the baby Tenere 900cc version weighing 160Kg wet.

Hey...we can dream.

But, but, but, what about a 1200 TDM, hopefully a fair bit lighter though. I notice the weight is with 23l fuel & 4l oil. I could be persuaded to by a TDM 900 if I could put the 1200 motor in it...
