The Yamaha XTZ 660 lofty perch and wide bars make for easy, confident bend swinging and superior vision of the road ahead. You’ll need it too, since the brakes are lamentable the lack of bite exacerbated by some colossal fork dive. And by God, the Yamaha XTZ 660 seat’s uncomfortable too. The name Tenere has been synonymous with Yamaha’s rugged Adventure Sport dual-purpose models since the original machine was first launched in the early 1980’s. Developed from Yamaha’s highly successful Dakar racewinning factory bikes, the original Tenere models built up a huge following of loyal owners during the 1980s and 90s.
