Yamaha Xt1200z Super Tenere

The Yamaha Xt1200z Super Tenere has a top speed of 200 km/h, produces 110 hp and weighs 261 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.

Yamaha XT1200Z Super Ténéré została wprowadzona w 2010 roku jako następca legendarnego oryginalnego Super Ténéré z końca lat 80., który wygrał Rajd Paryż-Dakar. Zaprojektowany jako poważny długodystansowy podróżnik przygodowy, był wyposażony w nowo opracowany równoległy silnik o pojemności 1199 cm3 z rzędem ostrzału 270 stopni, zapewniając silny niski moment obrotowy. W 2014 roku otrzymał znaczące aktualizacje, w tym poprawiony system zawieszenia i kontroli trakcji, umocniając jego reputację jako zdolnego i wygodnego motocykla podróżującego po świecie.

Co kupujący powinni wiedzieć

⚙️

Unified Brake System

The XT1200Z features Yamaha's Unified Brake System (UBS) with ABS, linking front and rear brakes for superior stopping control on mixed terrain. This system is highly regarded for adventure touring safety but can be expensive to service if sensors fail.

🔧

Watch the Shaft Drive

The shaft drive eliminates chain maintenance, but early models (2010-2013) had reported issues with the final drive unit wearing prematurely — always check service history for rear drive replacements before buying used.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The Super Ténéré holds its value exceptionally well compared to competitors, largely due to Yamaha's reputation for reliability and the bike's proven long-distance touring capability with its dual 23L fuel tank system.

Experienced tourers wanting BMW quality, not BMW prices

"Underrated adventure bike offering serious capability at genuinely honest money."

$6,500-$10,500 used

The Super Ténéré is Yamaha's answer to the GS, and honestly? It's a better motorcycle than most people give it credit for. The parallel twin is smooth, torquey from dead low, and genuinely capable on gravel or highway. The traction control and ABS systems are well-calibrated, not intrusive. For a used buy, you're getting serious adventure hardware at a significant discount over BMW money. That said, go in with eyes open. The dashboard electronics on pre-2014 bikes can throw gremlins, and the suspension — while adjustable — feels wooden unless you've spent real money on a revalve. Check the chain and sprockets hard, because previous owners often neglect them. Fuel economy is acceptable but not class-leading, sitting around 42-46mpg loaded. Find a good 2014-2016 example with the updated dash and under 25,000 miles, and you've got a genuinely world-class touring adventure bike. They're bulletproof mechanically when maintained. This one rewards patient, experienced riders who actually use it.
