2022 Yamaha Tenere 700 breaks cover in new colours

Yamaha has globally unveiled the new Tenere 700 adventure motorcycle for 2022. The new bike has been updated with new colour schemes as part of the yearly update.

The bike has been given the company's Team Yamaha Blue colour with bold new graphics. Apart from that, there is also a Raven black paint with grey graphics and black rims. The Japanese bikemaker has also introduced the new Tenere 700 Rally Edition variants which comes adorned with white paint and red graphics and not the previously found blue/black speed block livery. This specific rally edition motorcycle gets a number of adventure inspired bits such as the Rally seat, Akrapovic exhaust, radiator protector, chain guard, kneee grip pads, and a large sump guard as standard.

Apart from these updates, the bike remains more or less the same. It features the same CP2 engine and comes fitted with wire-spoke wheels; 21-inch at the front and 18-inch at the rear. These wheels come shod with Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres.

Its engine - 689 cc, parallel-twin unit remains the same. It is known to deliver 72.4 PS of power at 9,000 rpm and 68 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. The engine is available with a 6-speed transmission.

The new middleweight ADV from Yamaha tips the scales at over 200 kg and is claimed to be a very promising adventure touring motorcycle. It will be seen in the international showrooms within the next few weeks. On the other hand, it may not arrive in india anytime soon.
