Yamaha 2013 model announcements

Did anyone else notice that form 2012 to 2013 the Super Ténéré somehow gained 3 lbs, lost two-*TENTHS* in overall length, and added a few *HUNDREDTHS* in seat height?

Sometime you gotta' wonder about the ad copy, spec sheet, and promo speak writers... Do they even read what they've published before, and does anybody at the factory ever really measure these kinds of things...

Cool about the colors, though. I never would have believed the white-and-red would have made it to the USA! ::008::

...yummy... like 'em both,.!

 

[~TABASCO~]

That white is killer ! ::008::

 

[Checkswrecks]

That pretty blue is soooo out of date now.



Till they bring it back to differentiate the 2014 models.

 

[greg the pole]

white is tasty

 

[olie]

+1 on the WHITE !!!

 

[Salmon Sam]

I like the gray! If color is the only change from 2012 (and that is an easy farkle), it makes the buying decision this fall for us wannabes pretty easy!
No other minor tweaks???

Let's just say the wickedest looking Tenere on the planet started out as a White one.

Makes we want one too. But it still wouldn't look like THAT one.

 

[Maxified]

I like the gray!

The white is alright,
but I must say
I prefer the gray!

Jesse, is that you?

I like them both over the current colors but I think I will get a black one on the cheap.

 

[PowersUSA]

White is my preferred color for vehicles in general, but I'm also a sucker for matte finishes. Probably a moot point as I will likely end up with a black 2012 (or a white Victory Cross Country Tour, I know two totally different bike that's a long story for another day).

Now for some shots outside the photo studio.

 

[The Rotund One]

Cool! It sounds like my (still faster) black one will soon become a collectors item... $ ::012:: $

 

[PowersUSA]

Taking a closer look, I think the blacked out rear frame and pillion foot rests on the matte gray version adds to its appeal.

 

[Dirt_Dad]

Crap!!! I no longer own every color of Tenere available in the USA.

I like the white. Still like the blue one best of all, but that white is pretty sweet.

 

[stevepsd]

The white is right!

Wish I could see if pics of the handlebars, to see if there is a possible cruise control. Looks like no changes other than color.

Diggin' the blacked-out hardware on the Matte Gray - looks like a bit of powder-coating may be in my future...

Really like the gray one by the way. Shame it will always be slower than my Blue Beauty. ::012::

 

[kingofZroad]

I thought I wanted a white one.... Until I saw the matte one. Now, I can't decide!!!

 

[WWV]

so, no other changes than colors?
