2012 Yamaha Super Tenere Two-Up Review Photo Gallery
We headed for Southern Utah with the 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere for some two-up testing.
We spend two days on and off the road with Yamaha's Super Tenere to see how it performed with a passenger. Read more in the
2012 Yamaha Super Tenere Two-Up Review
.
The 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere is well equipped for adventure with one or two riders.
Wind protection from the 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere is excellent for both the rider and passenger.
An over zealous throttle hand prematurely wore out the rear tire.
A top box made a nice backrest on the street, but on the dirt it beat up the passenger in the big bumps.
The stock 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere seat was comfortable for both the rider and passenger.
We still think there needs to be an option to turn off the ABS on the Super Tenere.
The 2012 Super Tenere ate up the straights with silky smooth acceleration.
This is the first time Kirsten spent more than an hour on the back of a motorcycle, and she enjoyed just about every minute of it.
The rear end of the Super Tenere handled the extra weight of a passenger and top box with just a few turns on the preload adjuster and a few clicks on the rebound damping.
Handling on the street and in the dirt was solid and confidence inspiring for both riders.
The Super Tenere allows you to get off the beaten path with a passenger.
Traction from the 2012 Super Tenere's stock tires in the dirt was better than expected.
