XT660R
XT660Z Ténéré
The Ténéré 660 is a rugged, functional and stylish dual-purpose bike that has the capability to take you on an adventure whenever and wherever the mood takes you. With over 30 years’ experience in the manufacture of single-cylinder 4-stroke adventure bikes, Yamaha knows exactly what it takes to build a machine that can handle everything from Europe’s streets and highways through to the dust and rocks of deepest Africa. At the heart of this tough intercontinental explorer is a liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, 4-valve, single cylinder, SOHC engine that produces plenty of power across a wide rpm range, allowing the Ténéré to master just about any riding situation. Its 23-litre fuel tank delivers a good range – and the comfortable dual seat and wind-beating rally-raid style nose cowl and high screen take the strain on longer journeys. And with a wide range of accessories available, it’s easy to adapt your Ténéré 660 to suit individual needs.
