New Tenere breaks cover

As part of Yamaha’s 64th Birthday celebrations at the company’s Sydney headquarters on July 1st, the all-new Tenere 700 made its public bow. Replacing the XT600-based Tenere 600, which has been around in one form or another since 1983 and has been one of Yamaha’s biggest-sellers worldwide, the new model is based on the highly successful parallel twin MT- 07 platform and will be available in three versions when it goes on sale later in 2019.
