known for its effigies in Indian temples.

YAMAHA TENERE
RAID PROTOTYPE
As more and more new bikes were an-
nounced at this year's EICMA, one that
really caught our eye is the 2022 Yamaha
Tenere Raid Prototype. Before you get
your hopes up, yes, this bike is still a pro-

what would we throw at it?" This
purpose-built machine is still just a
prototype, but it definitely makes us
wonder what the future of adventure
riding, or racing, could bring.

ments in an all-black color scheme. Along
with that are some Royal Enfield genuine
accessories such as fly screens, engine
guards, heel guards and bar-end mirrors
that come standard. Die-cut brass badges
also adorn the bikes, crafted from a family
