Yamaha Super Tenere Diapason Racing: sporty future for XT1200Z
- Thread starter spasm
- Start date
i especially like this bit ::022:: ::022::
On the performance front, we’ve test ridden the ST1200 with Diapason R engine mapping at a pace not alltogether touring. This kind of technology gives greater torque and performance to the bike with Sport settings, but leaves the Touring settings as they are for a more relaxed ride. The new Sports setting is a more marked departure from the previous one and certainly highlights the difference between touring and sports riding much more. The future production version of the Yamaha Super Tenere won’t be quite so exaggerated, but this is the direction that the company wants to take its new XT1200Z.

Tabasco sells them.. In the vendors section.X5 said:
Those are the only ones I have seen. I think the ones from Europe are the same type. I have the 3M protection film and I think the "mummy" stickers might do the same..X5 said:
I liked this bit..
It looks like payback time. From the UJM[anufacturers].
I wonder when Ural are going to get into it with their sporty model.
I knew BMUU slapped the wrong faces making the S1000R. Should have left the Japanese alone in that segment.

NOT a desert mummy but a Tuareg man http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuareg_people The veil is worn by the men and is frequently indigo blue as is the rest of their dress. These nomads of the desert are sometimes referred to as the blue people and I think the colour inspiration for the Dakar Teneres.X5 said:
This is of course totally lost on those who chose black for a machine with such an illustrious family history

"The veil is worn by the men and is frequently indigo blue" Alasho - check the threads on license plates. Blue bike too, keeping the tradition of the Tuarge ::008::elwood said:The veil is worn by the men and is frequently indigo blue as is the rest of their dress.

Now back to this thread. The Diapason R was one of those early internet finds of mine on this bike and I fell in love wiht that white/red scheme. At some point when I am tired of the Blue (maybe never) I am going to paint mine in pearlescent white with red accents. Love that front fender treatment

That is the OEM Yamaha Tank Pad which you should be able to get through your dealer. I have just ordered mine from Yamabits but for me in the UK delivery is only £1.20. I guess you would get stung with the shipping.X5 said:
