I brought the 2010 model 1.5 yrs ago. Its a fantastic road bike as well. The suspension just soaks up everything and makes for a very pleasant ride. Its great on gravel roads too. You can get very aggressive in the gravel and it just handles it easily. Ive been riding 53 years now, mostly tar , but now because of bikes like this i can go down any gravel road, which is just brilliant. A fantastic motorcycle .

And this is why I named my bike Matilda when I bought her in 2011: the Aussies gave the bike glowing reviews. This side (in South Africa) the bike was constantly being bashed by the BMW fanboy army. Give credit where credit is due and fair is fair seems to be the Australian way.

I did a 300 miles trip on the day I got it as it was far from me. 5,5 hours in the saddle and all I got out of it was a bit of bum pain but that's normal sitting for 5 hours anyways... and even that was gone in almost 2 minutes after I got off the bike. My dream bike lived up to all the hopes I had for it! The standard wind shield on the '11 model in its tallest setting is baaaaad for a guy like me - 6'4"- as all the air hits the visor... need to get a screen extension for this bike if you're this tall. - I had mine from my 660 Tenere when I rode the bike back home - . Managed to get 50mpg out of it at the speed of 80mph. Don't forget that this guy has 6 gears so use it! I don't feel the need for cruise control thx to the fly-by-wire throttle, so if it is not standard on newer models from the '11 then might should skip it, as it doesn't require any effort to keep it at a constant speed as you have to keep your hand somewhere anyway... I do 20mph@2500rpm in 2nd, 30 in 3rd same rpm, 40 @2200rpm in 5th, 80 @4000rpm in 6th, 90mph comes at about 4500rpm... If you want a twin exhaust on it , look up NONE exhaust here on YT. Costs about £870. It feels great even while filtering through traffic between cars.

@derkenblosh 8 лет назад

Adding a 3-port solenoid and tee to the brake lines to bypass the ABS solenoid would be a better way to disable ABS (on any bike that you needed to remove ABS via switch). You'll still hear the ABS solenoid go nuts, but it wont effect braking.

@gianluciano 6 лет назад

Sorry folks, which fuse are you pulling out with the switch on the handlebar? There are three under the right side panel: one of them near the fuel tank (ABS motor), the other two inside the fuse box, one for the solenoid and another for the ABS Control Unit.

@BigRigRich 6 лет назад

Can you give me your opinion on the shaft drive?

@lcdubs7847 2 года назад

What's the silencer you used?

@falconiusazurius5572 9 лет назад

On a minor point: hit the back brake first and then the front in order to bypass the ABS. Believe me, in a tight spot doing this is much easier than finding and flipping a switch on the handle bar.

@TheGeoShocker 8 лет назад

+Falconius Azurius so basically no need for a switch since you can still slide the rear wheel intentionally that way, right?

@alejogs500 5 лет назад

Hitting the rear brake first does not disable the abs, it just bypass the combinated braking system.

@simonrogers7569 7 лет назад

Is the bike a 2013 or 2014. It looks to be a 2013 going by the clocks and screen that were updated for 2014. Good review though.

@williamkerner 9 лет назад

Looking for my first bike. I can't understand why Yamaha would not include a ABS switch like other manufacturers do. Maybe you could help me out with the why? I am also concerned about the weight of the bike, if I am by myself and I tip it over will I be able to pick it up, especially with gear on it? These are my major concerns about this bike but I heard that it is tough and reliable and it undercuts BMW, Triumph and KTM. Your input is appreciated. Thanks

@Adventure-Outdoors 9 лет назад

If you press the rear brake first on the XT1200 it acts independently, I find it easy to stop in the gravel. If you pull the front brake first, then the UBS (unified braking system) kicks in and the ABS is activated, which is great on the road. I doubt anyone would grab a handful of front brake in the gravel on a non-ABS bike, otherwise the front end will slip, so you are likely to hit the rear first, in this respect, the XT1200 operates like a non ABS bike in the dirt.......just don't grab the front brake! Hope this helps.

@bartbug1 3 года назад

But of a random question; what sort of exhaust system does that bike have?

@andrewdods2236 3 года назад

ARROW, from Italy. Full system. Pipe and headers too.

@BackHurtsBad 6 лет назад

Yea but is it as close to the 1090/1190/1290 R and AFrica twins in the off department??

@pavelmullo244 4 года назад

A M all ktm are lighter and more powerful wich will make them better for off-road purposes compared with tenere but significant huge plus for this bike will be lower running cost and totally different reliability when there will be some mileage on and some years passed, it is everyone own choice to make anyway 😉

@chowhound33ify 9 лет назад

Umm, to turn abs off on these bikes put the bike on the centerstand and start the bike up and let the clutch out in 2nd gear, wa la, no abs, thought everyone knew this trick

@TrooperluTV 9 лет назад

Actually that doesnt work anymore - we tried as it used to work but not anymore! Cant work out why but on 12-13 models worked a treat - this one! Nope. So had to look for a solution. j

@hermanstokbrood 8 лет назад

If the abs breaks less efficient on a slippery surface, then ABS is simply bad.

@alejogs500 5 лет назад

In motorcycles the abs is intended and designed for paved roads... When you ride one hard on sand or gravel you'll understand why.

@stephenhadley2490 3 года назад

That bike is not a 2014 and can’t have electronic suspension. 2014 had a different dash and indicators.

@oddf3llow 8 лет назад

What's so hard to understand about the abs on this bike? Brake with the rear brake only, or rear brake first = No abs. Simple!

@bwilcher9501 7 лет назад

I believe the brakes are linked.

@bjuricek23 7 лет назад

so are you saying that if you press the rear brake only (with your foot), the ABS system won't go off?

@oc_geek337 4 года назад

Incorrect. That will just prevent the combined braking NOT the ABS
