Yamaha XT550 Ténéré Prototype
A strange idea?
Of course Yamaha's European product planning picked up on this new market trend. They caused a surprise in the Yamaha Japan headquarters in 1981, when they suggested to produce a replica of the Rally machines with a 30 liters
fuel tank and a big single, or even a twin, engine. This was a concept hard to understand in Japan, where the adventure dream had not picked up yet, and nobody could imagine normal motorcyclists wanting to ride around with these big fuel tanks. But the engineers finally took up the challenge and created the first Ténéré for the model year 1983!Source yamaha-motor.de
