Yamaha is proud to announce an all-new model for 2010: the XT1200Z Super Ténéré. This project began with a clean sheet and a clear vision – to create the most advanced adventure travel machine, a motorcycle tailor-made for transcontinental expeditions, offering comfort, reliability, exhilaration and effortless progress over every conceivable terrain.
From the beginning, the Super Ténéré design team had the following targets in mind:
An all-new, shaft-driven large displacement engine with the torque to deliver emphatic drive throughout the rev range and a dynamic character suited to a wide range of conditions;
Light and agile handling, with perfect balance at low speeds and quick, precise steering on twisty mountain roads;
High levels of comfort, weather protection and practicality to accommodate long-haul travel with passengers and luggage; and
Intelligent use of rider assist technology to improve safety, versatility and rider confidence in all situations – but without taking full control away from experienced riders.

Once again BRAKE is calling for more restrictions on drivers, speeding and anything else it can latch on to. The case of the elderly driver who killed an 18 month old child is terrible, but BRAKE want to use any accident as a means to enhance their PR whether it has a valid message or not.
Following this latest press release are we also going to see the banning of Portugese LGV drivers after the next accident? Everyone under 21 castigated because one of their number caused a fatality?
