Yamaha XT 1200 Z Super Ténéré World Crosser 2012

Yamaha XT 1200 Z Super Ténéré World Crosser 2012

Not a powerhouse, but always confident, always nippy. And also a very harmonious overall package that has no conspicuous negative outliers. Everything works well. And that is very good.

Powerful engine

pleasant, comfortable chassis

off-road resistant

good design.

Unsporting brake system

relatively high weight.
