2015 Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere ES Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Yamaha's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2015 Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere ES features a 1199 cc (73.2 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 98.0 x 79.5 mm (3.9 x 3.1 inches) with a 11.0:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the XT1200Z Super Tenere ES measures 265.8 kg (586 lbs) wet (curb). 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.
