This 2012 Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere, also known as the Yamaha XT1200 Z, Super Ténéré and XT, is a Japanese adventure motorcycle and dual-purpose touring bike for long-distance road travel, weekend adventure riding, touring, camping and two-up holidays. The 1,199 cc two-cylinder petrol engine produces 81 kW, with a six-speed manual gearbox, 23-litre fuel tank, two seats and a substantial 261 kg tare weight. Its tall windscreen, handguards, crash bars, spoked wheels and pannier racks suit touring, luggage carrying and light off-road exploration, while the digital instrument cluster adds practical ride information. This gloss black motorcycle has red accent decals, a two-piece seat and a strong adventure-bike stance. Visible wear includes scratches on the frame and crash bars, surface rust on the exhaust, corrosion on some engine fasteners and a scuffed windscreen. It is a one-owner bike at the Riverhorse Branch in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal.
