Super Ténéré 1200
Yamaha's Super Ténéré 1200 combines a 1,199cc parallel-twin with shaft drive and a 6.1-gallon fuel tank purpose-built for remote long-distance touring — electronically adjustable suspension and standard cruise control make it a capable two-up traveler. Discontinued after 2024 with no announced successor; used examples at $8,000–$14,000 offer strong value for buyers who prioritize shaft drive and tank range over cutting-edge electronics.
