Positioned in Yamaha's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2013 Yamaha XTZ1200 Super Tenere Worldcrosser pairs a 1199 cc (73.2 cu in) liquid-cooled engine architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 108.5 HP (79.2 kW) at 7,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 114.1 Nm (84.2 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 90.5 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 XTZ1200 Super Tenere Worldcrosser measures 260.8 kg (575 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.42 HP/kg (2.4 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 845 mm (33.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1 mm (0 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 22.71-liter (6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
