Yamaha presents the Super Tenere at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show

In addition to futuristic urban two-wheelers, the Tokyo Motor Show allows Yamaha to present the enticing concept of Super Tenere: inspired by rally-raid and packed with unprecedented assistance, this outline reflects the manufacturer’s interest in maxi-trail.

Traditional national meeting of the four Japanese manufacturers (who are only three this year in the absence of Kawasaki), the Tokyo Motor Show is often compared to a surprising exhibition of projects ranging from the most daring to the most elaborate (read).

And would mix, according to Yamaha , "strength, reliability, avant-garde technology, beauty and functionality".

Although its very "airy" design and the absence of any road fittings (mirrors, indicators, etc.) undoubtedly place the Super Tenere in the category of concepts to the still uncertain marketing, Yamaha’s historical affection for trails and the success of machines like the BMW R 1200 GS may give hope for a finalization of the project…

Additional hint: Yamaha has already implemented one that should be regularly updated … Stay tuned !
