Yamaha XT660Z Ténéré Take Your Horizon

Adventure with the XT660Z Ténéré – a rugged, functional and stylish dual-purpose bike. It will take you anywhere you desire – from Europe's streets and highways through to the dust and rocks of deepest Africa.

At the heart of this tough cross-country explorer is a liquid-cooled, 4-valve, 4-stroke SOHC single-cylinder engine that produces plenty of power across a wide rpm range, allowing you to master just about any riding situation.
While its 23-litre fuel tank delivers a good range, the comfortable dual seat, wind-beating rally-raid style nose cowl and high screen take the strain on longer journeys

 Yamaha XT660Z Tenere’s engine is used in a number of other machines (including the Aprilia Pagaso, MT-03, Derbi Mulhacen as well as the XT660 X and R models) complaints of a jerky throttle, stalling and mid rev hunting have been fixed on the Tenere. The engine accelerates cleanly from a closed throttle and pulls well (for a single) up to 70mph. Intrusive Vibes begin at 5000rpm.

Despite the relatively heavy weight and tall seat height the Yamaha XT660Z Tenere’s wide bars and good balance gives slow speed confidence. Like most motorcycles with off road abilities the forks dive harshly under braking and the rear squats under acceleration leading the bike wide out of turns. Off road the chassis will cope with all but the severest conditions.
