Yes, please...
We think that even this new Ténéré might be a 'ghost'.
But we're still hoping for the best....
Just like we did on the "new super tenere 1000" a few years ago.

Thumbs up New Tenere
Wow I really like the look of this bike. Could we finally have a Bike that can knock BMW off the top. I hope so. If Yamaha do this proper then it could worry KTM, BMW etc as it seem they are gonna price it around 5 grand in the UK which aint bad if it goes as good as it looks. I only wish i had the money to buy and prep one. I dont so I will buy a recent XT instead and hope the new Tenere is crap. But i will be pleased if its not as I can hope to buy one thats never seen dirt in 5 years time for a bargain price.

Price
Yamaha Germany has now published recommended sale price of EUR 6995.- on their web site. This is actually somewhat less than expected.

That equates to £4,871.06 in the UK.. Which if fair, they will sell it for £4995...

But Sadly, the XT660R is £4,599 OTR so they will charge about £1000 more for the Tenere

I guarantee that in "rip off Britain", we will pay at least £5495 OTR for the Tenere



I think ill be buying one in Spain and riding it home

I guess by now a few of us have sat on that bike at the NEC show; yes, the sales guys on the Yam stand reckon that it will be available for £4900 which looks reasonable compared with, say, the XT660R which has been advertised in the recent past for around £4200.
If that is the list price, then it can be just a matter of time before it is discounted by one or more dealers here (far less people looking at this bike than there were around the honeypot on the BMW stand!).

Thing is that, just like the 660R, it still needs the extras - as you say, Stu, the Yam luggage is rubbish - but it does not need as much doing to it as the R model e.g. the exhaust pipes are much higher and it looks like a pretty decent screen as stock.

Overall, it could be a bargain compared with the Beemer offerings.

Anyone know how good the stock suspension is? I forgot to look in rushing about the NEC.

Stu,
A brand new, unregistered, XT600 was advertised the other day on Motortrader for £3000 - it sold PDQ.
