TRAIL BOSS BLOG:

YAMAHA XTZ1200 SUPER TENERE REVEALED!

Yamaha Motor Europe has just pulled the wraps off the all-new 2010 XT1200Z Super Tenere adventure bike.

The bike was unveiled on Yamaha's European web site minutes ago ... which promptly sent the site into overload and down she went -- leaving salivating multi-cylinder adventure bike riders drooling over their computer screens with precious little to see and constantly hammering the 'Refresh' button!

But here's a first pic of the new beast, and some basic specs.

The twin-cylinder Super Tenere is very clearly aimed at the BMW R 1200 GS market segment, and judging by the new bike's spec sheet, we'd have to say the new Yamaha will find many a welcome home when it is formally released for public sale later this year.

For more details on the Super Tenere, check out the www.yamaha-motor-europe.com web site and hit the 'Super Tenere' link, or get down to the World Superbike Championship kick-off at Phillip Island in Victoria this weekend, where it is expected the new bike will be on display at the AMCN Expo tent on the Yamaha stand.
