Yamaha's new XT1200Z Super Ténéré looks to be competition to the new Multistrada 1200 in Europe.  The powerplant features a parallel twin motor with four valves per cylinder, and makes 108hp @ 7,250 RPM and 84lbs•ft @ 6,000 RPM.

Check out the plexiglass in front of the headlights.  I think the headlight protection and the two round lights are accessories.


Check out the tubless spoked wheels.  Since the spokes don't pass through the rim there is no need to worry about sealing the spokes.  


Interesting side mounted radiator with a fan (cover has been removed in this picture).  Hope the fan isn't obnouxiously loud like the ones on the Buells.  I think the radiator is only on one side because the right side does not have a large vent like the left side.

It's a sad day when I find a new Yamaha more attractive then a new Ducati.

I like it, looks very industrial especially the GS style panniers.

I have to wonder how they're handling balance/counter balance in that engine.

From an engineering perspective I sure like the 90 degrees layout of a Ducati a whole lot better.

I bet it is a good bike though.
