La Yamaha Super Ténéré XT1200Z se presentó en 2010 como sucesora de la Super Ténéré original de 750 cc de finales de la década de 1980, diseñada para competir en el segmento de turismo de aventura premium contra la BMW R1200GS. Se destacó por su motor bicilíndrico paralelo con un orden de encendido de 270 grados, lo que le daba un carácter similar al de un bicilíndrico en V, y recibió una importante actualización en 2014 con la adición de un sistema de control de tracción y suspensión electrónica en los modelos de especificaciones más altas. La Super Ténéré se convirtió en una respetada máquina de turismo de larga distancia, famosa por su comodidad, fiabilidad y un potente par motor de gama baja a media.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Proven Engine Reliability
The 1199cc parallel-twin engine is widely regarded as one of the most durable adventure bike motors available, with many owners reporting 100,000+ km with minimal issues when properly maintained.
Watch the Final Drive
The shaft drive is generally low-maintenance, but inspect for oil leaks around the rear drive housing and listen for clunking — worn universal joints are a known issue on higher-mileage examples.
Strong Resale Value
The Super Ténéré holds its value exceptionally well compared to competitors, largely due to its reputation for reliability and the loyal Yamaha adventure touring community keeping demand steady.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"A seriously underrated adventure tourer that deserves far more recognition."
$6,500-$11,000 usedThe Super Ténéré is a proper adventure bike from an era before every manufacturer lost their minds chasing GS sales. The 1199cc parallel twin pulls hard from low revs, the chassis is confidence-inspiring on gravel, and the optional electronic suspension on later models genuinely works. Buy one with the ESA if you can find it — it transforms the bike on mixed terrain runs. That said, go in with eyes open. These things drink fuel at a rate that'll embarrass you, the stock seat is an instrument of torture past 200 miles, and the infotainment is prehistoric by modern standards. Check the bevel drive carefully — it's not a common failure point but it's expensive when it goes wrong. Shaft final drive overall though is a big tick for touring use. For the money, you're getting a serious, underrated machine that bigger adventure riders especially appreciate. It never got the recognition it deserved. Low mileage examples under 25,000 miles represent genuinely strong value right now.
