Big adventure motorcycles have a bit of a reputation for being tall, heavy and a bit intimidating for smaller riders, so how does the Yamaha Super Tenere 1200 stack up in the ergos (ergonomics) and rider fit department?
By no means the shortest when it comes to seat height, the Super Tenere is still an inviting, well balanced machine, with adjustable seat height, helping suit a larger variety of riders.
An electronic system is well suited to various rider weights, or luggage and pillion loadouts, with an adjustable screen, adjustable levers and room for luggage.

@hharis 2 года назад

when you shot the video, was the seat at 845 or 870mm? Great video, thanks!

@Nirmaljohn7 2 года назад

That's 845. One rider selection without pillion or/and luggage

@MotoJournoKris 2 года назад

Yep!

Great old bike. Bit heavy: 260 kg wet. And top heavy. Shaft drive a benefit. Superb rack. I'd enjoy long-distance touring on one. It needs an adjustable screen, but I don't think there were such things when this came out. Is the plastic bit below the tank a crash bung?

@johnstaring3210 2 года назад

No. Suggest crash bars if buying one. OEM better than many as they don't mount to the engine.

@MotoJournoKris 2 года назад

The screen is adjustable and can be done without tools, however it's not the modern one hand clasp style adjustment. You have to loosen it on both sides and there's two pins you need to position correctly. Just the radiator cover as they are side mounted, but some crash bars are definitely the recommendation from what I've heard, as John mentioned.

@@MotoJournoKris Thanks to both of you.

@digitalmike330 2 года назад

I will say old tech is reliable tech. I would disagree with your assessment of it being top heavy. The way they designed the layout shifting the rad to the side allowed them to drop the engine much lower. I find it very manageable in parking lots, traffic and twistys. I recommend the Outback Motortek crash bars 8 days a week.

@@digitalmike330 Interesting. Thanks, Mike. It's a bike I like.

Very nice video Kris. You explained everything needed. Which one was more comfortable, this or the Vstrom 1050 XT? p.s. Drop by and check my community tab. There you can vote for my next video.

@MotoJournoKris 2 года назад

Thanks, will do! Hard to say on comfort, I had a bit more time on the Super Tenere and did notice the seat was a bit hard.

Im interested in more street oriented tires for mine. What tires do you have on yours? Do you like them?

@MotoJournoKris Год назад

I just had the bike on test in this instance, so ran with what it was fitted with. I can double check to see what that was if you like. They were good at speed and in very wet conditions.

@MotoBmx01r 2 года назад

I'm having a tough time finding highway pegs for this bike which I need for long rides due to knee & comfort issues. Any input on that?????

@MotoJournoKris 2 года назад

Good question, you might need to find some crash bars which run low enough that you could mount some highway pegs off them to achieve that. I haven't seen any direct fitment, but I believe people have managed it with the Yamaha crash bars on the older models.

@digitalmike330 2 года назад

I use my crash bars as highway pegs, albeit you need to have some hamstring flexibility as they do sit high up.

@Nirmaljohn7 2 года назад

T Rex Engine guard and skid plate along with T Rex highway pegs

@redbear1935 2 года назад

Try to slide all the way, to the back of the seat ,worked for me.

@skytower309 Год назад

2nd on the T Rex. I've used them on the Givi and the AltRider(upgrade) crash bars. There's two lengths of drop-bars included, and are 360° adjustable. They work well, even with my 38" inseam. I did have to switch to a cork and rubber insert to get them to clamp tight enough...
