Yamaha XT660Z Tenere

Another Adventurous Enduro You Can't Buy HereYamaha's Tenere (named after the Tuareg word for desert) first appeared in 1983, inspired by the modified XT500 singles that won the first two Paris-Dakar Rallies. The big-tanked single was an immediate success, and several revamps kept it selling well for more than a decade before the model was finally dropped. This year the Tenere returns with fresh styling, a new chassis and a liquid-cooled powerplant shared with the XT660R. Don't let the rally-ready looks fool you, however; Yamaha's latest big single isn't a hardcore desert racer but an accessible all-rounder made for tarmac touring and occasional undemanding off-road explorations.
