the tenere range.
just some thoughts on yamahas position in the adventure bike market. at intermot yamaha revealed almost ****** all, is the 660 tenere due an update, yes we all know and love the bike but its been out nearly 6 years and BMW have updated theirs, husqvarna have joined the show and yamaha seem to be stuck on a desert island. you can argue that it doesnt need updating but im afraid new customers will look at whether a model is ageing prior to making a decision. i love my xt660z but after riding the sertao yesterday back to back, it made my tenere feel like an antique, the sertao is in a completely different league in terms of engine and gearbox smoothness, i couldnt even believe it was a single. i wont be changing my ten because i love the ruggedness, looks and sound of it.
