2015 Yamaha Super Tenere Worldcrosser Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2015 Yamaha Super Tenere Worldcrosser super motard motorcycle, Yamaha features a 1199 cc (73.2 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 112 HP (81.8 kW) at 7,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 117 Nm (86.3 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 93.4 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,250 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Super Tenere Worldcrosser measures 261 kg (575 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.43 HP/kg (2.33 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 846 mm (33.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,539 mm (60.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 23.09-liter (6.1 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.47 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 422 km (262 miles) between fill-ups.
