The Yamaha Tenere 700 has been quite a successful story, combining light weight, decent performance, and good off-road capability; all traits to make for an all-round off-road focussed mid-size adventure bike. But now, reports in Europe point to the development of a bigger and more powerful version of the Yamaha Tenere adventure motorcycle. And even though Yamaha India has not deemed it fit to locally assemble or even think of introducing the Tenere 700 in India, its go-anywhere ability and versatility, coupled with its light weight, promises a good all-round ADV.

Figure 1. Yamaha Tenere 900 May Be Introduced Globally

Figure 1 shows The Yamaha Tenere 700 is seen as more off-road centric, and as not as road-oriented as many riders prefer. At the same time, Yamaha seems to be setting sights on the 900 cc adventure touring capacity with the new bike, with more performance, and better all-round capability.

Previously, Yamaha had both the mid-size and higher-end of the ADV segment in the Tenere range, with the Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere . Now, Yamaha Europe seems to be working on a mid-range variant, instead of focussing on a BMW R 1250 GS rival, based on the 900 cc inline three-cylinder platform used in the Yamaha MT-09, Tracer 9 and XSR900 (all models not offered on sale in India). According to a report in French publication Moto Station, the new Tenere 900 may have more real world versatility than the Tenere 700. And unlike the now-discontinued XT1200Z Super Tenere, the new Tenere 900 will be positioned against the likes of the Tiger 900. [2]

And in contrast to the 21-inch entrance wheel and 17-inch rear wheel mixture of the Tenere 700, and the extra off-road and hardcore Tenere 700 Global Raid, the brand new Tenere 900 will use a 19-inch entrance wheel mixture to offer it higher street manners but preserving the flexibility of the T7. Now not a lot main points are to be had at this degree, however the brand new Tenere 900 is predicted to come back with all of the elementary electronics of a modern ADV, with more than one driving modes, configurable ABS and traction regulate, and so forth. The Yamaha Tenere 900 is predicted to be showcased by means of the tip of the yr, with a manufacturing fashion to be had in early 2023. [3]
