Yamaha's two-wheel Range Rover

Yamaha's Super Tenere is a genuine go-anywhere bike that's as happy on the motorway as in the Sahara.

Yamaha has been out of the running in the big-capacity adventure-bike market for years. But now, with the Super Tenere XT1200Z, Yamaha is back with a bang, says Trevor Franklin in Motorcycle News.

The Super Tenere's "genuine go-anywhere ability" means it is a serious contender for the market leader's crown, BMW's "tried and trusted" R1200GS Adventure. The Yamaha may be more expensive, but it still a serious alternative: it has a better all-round ability, with "the chassis to make a joke of twisting roads when the need arises", and has a "brilliant" two-cylinder, 1,200cc engine.
