IMHO I think that it is simply a direct marketing attack on the Bavarian camp of Bee eeM UU. Clearly BMUU have the large capacity adventure bike category (>1000cc) almost to themselves and Yamaha have launched this product to try to gain market share where they were not represented previously. I do wonder what the world wide market is for the over 1000cc adventure bike is?

The question remains: Will the potential large capacity adventure bike customers be wooed by the Super Tenere? We will have to wait and see .....

However, I am still delighted with my TEN, now just over a year old and serving me well in the urban jungle of Paris ..... plus continental trips (two-up + touratech luggage full to the brim) around and about Europe.
