Yamaha Super Tenere

Motorcycling
1

The new Super Tenere is the new R1 of the adventure world. Why? because alot of the tech from the sports bike has been transfered to it.

Most importantly the crossplane crankshaft. The R1s crossplane crank minimises inertial torque and allows to make the most of the available torgue.

So putting that engine in the Super Tenere, should allow the full use of the 110bhp and 84lb/ft whether on dirt, sand or road.

The new adv bike also has three modes of traction control. Unline the ABS this can be turned off.
This seems abit odd as Yamaha seem serious about it off road capabilities, giving it spoked 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear.

It does look good tho :wink:

******, it is an a larger version of the TDM900 engine!!! In fact on Yamaha’s website you can find the 270° crank information on pages for the TDM and Tenere.

R1 Tech indeed!

3

so actually the R1 is a sporty TDM!! LOL :smiley:

4

Yep you’ve got it mate! :D:cool:

So the Tenere has a 2 cylinder IL engine and last time I looked, the R1 has an IL 4.

Hmmmm not much similarity there then. :slight_smile:

6

they said that the crossplane crank is the same not the number of cylinders :stuck_out_tongue:

The TDM is an inline twin with a 270° crank, which not normal most inline twins have a common crank and hence parallel twin. The cross plane jobby on the inline 4 R1 engine does a similar thing. Just makes different spread of torque and power, and delivers it in a slightly different manner.

Gentlemen,

if you don’t mind me interrupting, amidst the discussions about cranks
and TDMs etc, they key point I heard is that fully loaded it will be more £
than the bench mark GS, I don’t think as technically advanced else where as the New Ducati that is the new bench mark for adventure, and I here there won’t be any in showrooms to testride (similar to the vmax cash down first please!!!)… I have to say it looks great but I can’t see it selling well and really missed it’s impact on the market by being overshadowed by the Italians…
