Yamaha Tenere 700 Priced at $9999
Y
amaha's extremely long awaited Tenere 700
adventure motorcycle will be priced at a very
respectable $9999 when it lands in the U.S. for
the 2021 model year, Yamaha announced at the
recent Long Beach Motorcycle Show.
The Tenere 700 has just been launched in Asia,
Australia, New Zealand and Europe, but due to
production requirements, the U.S. market will not
be served until 2021, with bikes expected to arrive
in the third quarter of 2020.
To say the Tenere is overdue would be a gross
understatement. The company has teased the
model, which uses the Yamaha MT-07 twin-
cylinder motor, for the past three years, and we
expected these machines to be in showrooms this
year—the same as the rest of the world. Instead,
we'll have to wait another year, but Yamaha's pric-
ing at least makes it extremely competitive against
the KTM 790 Adventure and Adventure R, and
BMW's F 850 GS. CN
The Yamaha Tenere
should be a smash
hit, when it eventually
gets here.
