Sorry for any confusion.
This was a post relating to the accessories now available for the Yamaha Super Tenere, but as no-one has seen a living example and one can only buy one by paying Yamaha £14,500 to order from a photo I can’t really see much call for all these accessories.

Or join my conspiracy theory: Did men actually walk on the Moon? Does the Super Tenere exist?

An expert panel of judges headed by Marc Potter, the Editor of motorcycling’s weekly newspaper Motor Cycle News (MCN), announced the winner of the coveted MCN Bike of the Year award, the Yamaha YZF-R1.
‘It’s a no-brainer’ said one judge; ‘You simply couldn’t give the award to any other bike’ said another. The praise was without qualification and the decision unanimous. Yamaha took a massive gamble when it launched 2009 R1 – altering the character of superbikes, abandoning the headline-grabbing horsepower war and asking riders to relearn how to get the best from their bike. But it worked.
