Yamaha Tenere 700 Extreme Edition Breaks Cover In Europe

Yamaha Europe has just announced the release of a new version of their popular adventure tourer motorcycle – the Yamaha Tenere 700 Extreme Edition.

The Tenere 700 Extreme Edition is heavily inspired by the Tenere 700 World Raid.
Powering the Tenere 700 Exterem Edition is the same 689cc liquid-cooled, inline twin-cylinder engine.

The new variant of the motorcycle is more off-road-ready than its predecessor, with changes to the chassis and suspension, among other features.

While the Yamaha Tenere 700 Extreme Edition shares many mechanical components with the previous model, updates to the chassis and suspension have been made to improve off-road capabilities.

The motorcycle now has fully adjustable KYB 43mm forks that provide an additional 20mm of travel, bringing the total to 230mm at the front. The rear shock has also been upgraded, with a 20mm increase in travel bringing it to 220mm.

Additionally, the overall height of the bike has been raised by 20mm to provide a total ground clearance of 260mm.

Other new features of the Yamaha Tenere 700 Extreme Edition include adjustable off-road titanium footpegs with bear trap grips, a high enduro-style mudguard, a radiator protector, and a single, enduro-style seat with 20mm more padding than the standard version.

However, the changes to the suspension and seat height bring the seat height to a towering 910mm.

That said, the Yamaha Tenere 700 Extreme Edition takes inspiration from the Yamaha World Raid model while adding its own accessories.

Unit Garage Latest Custom Kit Pay Homage To The 1986 Tenere XT 600 Dakar

Like us, you probably have the same fondness towards iconic retro machines.

Unit Garage introduced new classic kit for Yamaha’s Tenere 700.
The custom kit takes inspiration from the iconic 1986 Yamaha Tenere XT 600.

The same reason why some manufacturers are going down memory lane seeking design inspiration for modern machines.

Ducati took the same path recently by introducing the DesertX, which is inspired by the classic Cagiva Elefant motorcycle competing at the 80s and 90s Paris-Dakar Rally.

As a result, the DesertX quickly established its popularity, especially among adventure-seeking riders.

However, if you’re also into off-roading and, by chance, own the Yamaha Tenere 700, you too can own a motorcycle inspired by classic retro machines, particularly the 1986 Yamaha Tenere 600 XT.

Thanks to the Italian company, Unit Garage, Tenere 700 owners can now convert their bikes to look like the Tenere XT 600.

The custom kit includes the iconic Yamaha blue design, beaked front fender, retro round LED lights, headlight screens and an aluminium skid plate.

The conversion kit is also available in black and a no-paint colour scheme.

Interestingly, the kit can be mounted directly onto the factory mounts of the Tenere 700, making it easier to install.

According to the information available on the company’s website, the classic kit is available from GBP1233.80 (RM6,500).

Meet The 2023 Yamaha Tenere 700 And Tenere 700 Rally Edition

Yamaha has updated its popular middleweight adventure motorcycle, the Tenere 700and Tenere 700 Rally Edition for 2023.

The 2023 Tenere 700 and Tenere 700 Rally Edition features a new dash and electronic package.
The Tenere 700 is powered by Yamaha’s high-torque CP2 engine.

The Tenere 700 has continued to be a hit among adventure riders since its introduction in 2019, with the bike’s success contributed by its off-road capability as well as excellent value for money compared to the rest of its competitors.

What’s new?

Riders will appreciate the new instrumentation that comes in the form of a 5-inch TFT colour display replacing the outdated LCD digital dash.

The new dash also features smartphone connectivity that can be connected to a smartphone which feeds incoming calls, emails and text messages.

The new display also allows riders to link it to the Yamaha My Ride app.

Other notable updates include pre-wiring for a quickshifiter, USB port, redesigned brake lever and LED turn signal.

Electronically, the 2023 Tenere 700 gets new and improved three switchable ABS modes; ON, OFF and REAR OFF.

Other features available on the 2023 Tenere 700 and 700 Rally Edition include:

lightweight double-cradle tubular steel frame
adjustable 43mm upside-down forks
remotely adjustable rear suspension
21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel
16L fuel tank
handguards

Powering the 2023 Yamaha Tenere 700 and Tenere 700 Rally Edition is the high torque 690cc 4-stroke, CP2 Euro5-compliant engine that puts out 72.3hp @ 8,750rpm and 67Nm @ 6,500rpm. Power is delivered to the rear wheel via a 6-speed manual transmission with a final chain drive.

Meanwhile, the Rally Edition is fitted with a dedicated rally seat, radiator protector and Akrapovic slip-on muffler as standard.

The Yamaha Tenere 700 Is Likely To Make Its Way To Malaysia

Hong Leong Yamaha Motor (HLYM) recently launched the 2022 Yamaha TMax Tech Max maxi-scooter for the local market with a recommended selling price of RM74,998.

The Yamaha Tenere 700 could finally be introduced to the Malaysian market.
There is a considerable demand for middleweight adventure motorcycles in the country.

During the launch, HLYM also revealed their plans to introduce more big-capacity motorcycles in 2023.

While the exact models are not disclosed, an unnamed source told Paultan.org that HLYM realized that there is a surge in demand for an off-road capable motorcycle in the country.

That said, it could be a strong indicator that the Yamaha Tenere 700 could finally make its way to Malaysia soon.

Powering the Tenere 700 is Yamaha’s CP2 689cc parallel-twin engine, capable of producing 74hp and 67Nm.

Earlier this year, Yamaha updated the Tenere 700 range with a World Raid variant, carrying a massive upgrade, including a 23L twin-tank that can take the bike up to 470km of range.

Although there is no official confirmation regarding the Malaysian launch just yet, but reports suggest that it is highly likely that the Tenere 700 will soon find its way to our shores.

We expect that the Tenere 700 could price around the RM50k mark as the motorcycle is currently on sale in the Philippines and Thailand at RM51,900 and RM58,300, respectively.

The middleweight adventure bike was again the talk of the town as five of the overall top 20 finishers at the recently concluded Rimba Raid 2022 were riding onboard the Tenere 700.

Ini 7 Motosikal Yang Kami Rasa Wajar Masuk Malaysia

Malaysia antara negara Asean yang dibanjiri motosikal dengan lebih 13 juta motosikal direkodkan setakat hujung 2021.

Jadi tidak hairanlah Malaysia menduduki tangga ke-4 dunia dengan 83 peratus isi rumah memiliki motosikal selepas Thailand, Vietnam dan Indonesia menurut WorldAtlas.

Namun begitu, itu tidak bermakna Malaysia ditawarkan dengan motosikal pelbagai model sebaliknya terdapat beberapa model yang kami harap dipasarkan di sini.

Berikut lapan motosikal yang kami harap akan masuk Malaysia pada masa akan datang:

Kawasaki KLR 650

Antara motosikal paling popular Kawasaki sejak diperkenalkan pada 1987, KLR650 kembali bagi tahun 2022 selepas kali terakhir dikemas kini pada 2008.

Menariknya Kawasaki mengekalkan enjin satu silinder 652cc DOHC dengan penyejukan cecair sama seperti generasi sebelumnya namun menaik taraf kepada sistem suntikan bahan api EFI menggantikan karburator.

Meskipun model ini tidaklah berkuasa seperti model Kawasaki 650 lain namun KLR 650 dikenali dengan tahap ketahanan tinggi di samping mampu meredah permukaan yang ekstrim.

Kawasaki W175

Selain daripada pasaran Filipina dan Thailand, Kawasaki baru-baru ini telah melancarka W175 di pasaran India.

Motosikal gaya retro ini pastinya akan mendapat tempat di pasaran Malaysia apatah lagi motosikal gaya klasik kini bukan sahaja diminati golongan berusia malah remaja.

Kumpulan motosikal seperti Hikari Riders – yang diketuai Noh Hujan – dan acara seperti Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride menjadi daya penarik kepada anak muda terlibat dengan motosikal retro.

Untuk rekod, Kawasaki W175 ini dikuasakan enjin satu silinder 177cc yang menghasilkan 13hp dan 13.2Nm. Meskipun kuasa enjin agak rendah namun motosikal ini tetap nampak bergaya.

Honda Trail 125/Hunter Cub 125

Sebuah lagi motosikal yang kami harap dapat dipasarkan di Malaysia adalah Honda Trail 125 (Eropah) atau Hunter Cub 125 bagi pasaran Jepun.

Menariknya, model ini dikuasakan enjin sama yang terdapat pada Honda Super Cub 125 yang dipasarkan di Malaysia.

Bagaimanapun, Honda Trail 125 ini lebih menarik perhatian ekoran menawarkan gaya dan reka bentuk lasak.

Rekaan keseluruhan Trail 125 ini diinspirasikan daripada model Trail 110 era 70an terutamanya reka bentuk ekzos yang ditempatkan di bahagian sisi penunggang.

Honda Trail 125 ini menawarkan 9.65hp pada 7,500rpm dan 10.4Nm pada 6,250rpm dan digerakkan transmisi 4-kelajuan. Meskipun kurang sengat namun model ini pastinya sesuai digunakan sebagai motosikal harian oleh semua jenis peringkat umur.

Yamaha XSR 155

Walaupun Yamaha XSR 155 ini cukup popular di Thailand, Indonesia dan Filipina namun model ini tidak dipasarkan di Malaysia sehingga kini.

Selain XSR 155, versi 900cc juga tidak dipasarkan disini oleh Hong Leong Yamaha Motor (HLYM).

Seperti Kawasaki W175 dan Honda Trail 125, Yamaha XSR 155 ini juga datang dengan gaya retro dengan penggunaan lampu bulat di depan, kerangka terdedah, panel meter digital LCD bentuk bulat dan tempat duduk gaya klasik.

Menariknya, Yamaha XSR 155 ini dikuasakan enjin satu silinder 155cc SOCH dengan VVA yang sama terdapat pada Yamaha R15M.

Honda Ruckus

Secara peribadi, kami berasakan Honda Ruckus merupakan skuter kompak paling cantik pernah dihasilkan Honda dan sukar ditandingi pengeluar lain dalam kelasnya.

Manakan tidak, rekaan keseluruhan Ruckus ini tampak unik dan luar biasa.

Walaupun hanya bernadikan enjin satu silinder 49cc dengan penyejukan cecair namun dengan reka bentuk terdedah dan ;ampu bulat berkembar menjadkan Ruckus sebuah skuter yang sangat menarik perhatian.

Menariknya, Ruckus dilengkapi dengan tangki sebesar 4.9L dan sesuai digunakan sebagai motosikal harian.

Skuter ini sangat popular di Amerika Syarikat terutamanya bagi budaya kustom di negara itu.

Yamaha Tenere 700

Sudah bertahun kami harapkan Yamaha Tenere 700 dibawa masuk ke Malaysia namun sehingga kini masih tiada jawapan dari HLYM.

Tenere 700 merupakan sebuah jentera ‘adventure’ pertengahan yang terbukti menawarkan kemampuan meredah permukaan lasak.

Baru-baru ini di Rimba Raid 2022, tiga jentera Yamaha Tenere 700 mendominasi podium bagi Class B.

Pihak penganjur juga menharapkan HLYM membawa masuk model itu ekoran sudah terbukti kemampuannya.

Untuk rekod, Yamaha Tenere 700 digerakkan enjin parallel-twin 689cc DOHC yang menawrakan 72.4hp pada 9,000rpm dan 68Nm pada 68Nm.

Honda Super Cub 110

Ketika ini, Boon Siew Honda (BSH) hanya menawarkan Honda Super Cub 125 untuk pasaran negara.

Walaupun model gaya klasik itu menarik perhatian namun tidak dinafikan harga yang ditawarkan sekitar RM13,999 adalah agak tinggi bagi model sebegitu.

Namun, lain kisahnya jika BSH memasarkan Honda Super Cub 110 yang ketika ini dipasarkan di Jepun dan beberapa negara jiran.

Menampilkan ciri klasik seperti varian 125, Super Cub 110 dipasarkan di Jepun pada harga hanya JPY280,500 (RM8.9k) berbanding JPY440,000 (RM14k) bagi sebuah Super Cub 125.

Ini bermakna, sekiranya dipasarkan di Malaysia permintaan Super Cub 110 pastinya lebih tinggi.

Untuk rekod, Honda Super Cub 110 dikuasakan enjin 109cc 4-stroke, SOHC dengan PGM-FI yang berupaya menghasilkan 7.8hp pada 7,500rpm dan 8.5Nm pada 5,500rpm.

Meskipun kurang berkuasa namun gaya yang ditampilkan cukup menarik perhatian di samping berpeluang untuk dikustom dengan pelbagai cara oleh pengguna.

Di antara semua model yang disebut di atas kami menharapkan Yamaha Tenere 700, XSR 155 dan Honda Super Cub 110 antara model yang harus dipertimbangkan untuk pasaran tempatan kerana pastinya terdapat permintaan yang tinggi mengikut demografik masing-masing.

Yamaha Sedang Bangunkan Tenere 900 Dengan Enjin MT-09?

Yamaha didakwa bakal perkenalkan Tenere dengan enjin yang lebih besar bagi sertai Tenere 700 sedia ada.

Menurut laporan, Yamaha ketika ini sedang giat membangunkan Tenere yang lebih besar yang didakwa mengguna pakai enjin CP3 890cc.

Ini sekaligus menyaksikan portfolio Tenere akan terus berkembang dengan model 900 sertai Tenere 700 dan Tenere Raid 700 sedia ada.

Walaupun Yamaha pernah memperkenalkan pelbagai varian enjin bagi Tenere – termasuk 600cc hingga 1200cc – namun difahamkan pengeluar motosikal Jepun itu menerima banyak gesaan agar varian baharu dengan enjin tiga silinder 890cc dari MT-09 diperkenalkan.

Majalah permotoran Perancis, Moto-Station mendakwa Yamaha sedang membangunakn Tenere 900 tersebut dengan sesi ujian telah pun berada di peringkat akhir.

Dikuasakan enjin sama yang menggerakan MT-09, Tracer 9, dan XSR900, Tenere 900 ini pastinya akan mengisi kekosongan yang ditinggalkan Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere yang telah diberhentikan pengeluaran.

Menariknya, Tenere 900 akan datang itu pastinya akan menghadirkan saingan terhadap Triumph Tiger 900, Ducati DesertX dan MV Agusta Lucky Explorer 9.5.

Yamaha Dedah Prototaip Tenere 700 Raid Di EICMA

Yamaha Tenere 700 merupakan antara motosikal ‘adventure’ paling popular di serata Eropah namun dengan pesaing lain telah pun mula memperkenalkan model baharu, Tenere 700 sedia ada mula ketinggalan.

Lantas bukan satu kejutan apabila Yamaha mendedahkan Tenere 700 Raid yang lengkap dengan spesifikasi lebih tinggi bagi mengetepikan pencabar lain.

Lengkap dengan segala aksesori daripada Genuine Yamaha Technology Racing (GYTR), jentera prototaip itu sedikit sebanyak memberi bayangan terhadap model ‘production’ yang akan diperkenalkan tidak lama lagi.

Berikut antara spesifikasi yang terdapat pada prototaip Tenere 700 Raid:

ekzos titanium Akrapovic
ECU GYTR
kotak dan penapis udara berprestasi tinggi
sproket 48
radiator yang lebih besar
penutup pam air baharu
klac heavy duty Rekluse
lever klac baharu

Yamaha Tenere 700 Raid ini juga tampil dengan fork depan jenis ‘long travel’ 48mm dengan jarak perjalanan 270mm serta penyerap hentakan belakang dengan jarak perjalanan 260mm.

Sistem membrek juga dinaik taraf dengan cakera brek tunggal di bahagian depan 300m yang dipadankan bersama cakera brek ‘racing’. Cakera brek belakang juga diperbesar kepada 267mm.

Buat masa ini tidak dapat disahkan bilakah Yamaha bakal memperkenalkan versi siap sepenuhnya namun prototaip ini sedikit sebanyak membayangkan model sebenar akan diperkenalkan tidak lama lagi.

Price for 2021 Yamaha Ténéré 700 Revealed in the US

The price of the 2021 Yamaha Ténéré 700 has been revealed in the US.
It’s the lowest priced middleweight dual-purpose bike of the lot.
Hong Leong Yamaha Motor has not confirmed whether they’ll release the bike in Malaysia.

The price of the 2021 Yamaha Ténéré 700 has been revealed in the US and will turn the middleweight adventure motorcycle market on its head.

The concept bike was revealed back in EICMA 2018, but the production-ready model was later shown at EICMA 2019. But we Malaysians were luckier as the bike was actually shown at Yamaha’s booth at MotoGP.

Based on the MT-07 standard bike, the Ténéré 700 promises to be a lightweight truly off-road capable bike. That torque from the 270-degree crank parallel-twin engine will do nicely, too. It’ll be a great departure from the current XTZ1200 Super Ténéré which is on the heavy side.

But the production-ready model looked even better than the concept, especially with those 4 LED headlamps tucked behind the windscreen. That and the tall front end of the bike gives the bike a Dakar Rally presence, no doubt inspired by the original Super Ténéré 750.

What’s the price then? USD 9,999 – RM 41,785.82 at today’s rate.

While the bike was displayed in Malaysia, Hong Leong Yamaha (HLYM) remains tightlipped about whether it’ll be released in Malaysia. Before you criticize them, HLYM prefers to train their dealers, the dealers’ mechanics, shore up spare parts, amongst others before bringing in a model to the country. Don’t forget also that HLYM assembles the bikes and they need time to set up the production line in terms of logistics and worker knowledge.

Still, we are quite certain that there are many waiting for this bike.
