Motorcycle specifications YamahaXT 1200 Z Super Ténéré 'Limited Edition' 2012 Equipped road

presentation of the XT 1200 Z Super Ténéré 'Limited Edition' 2012

although its name and its history are reminiscent of the Dakar Rally, the dunes and adventure on a more or less long-range scale, the 1200 Super Ténéré's main focus is on country rides and the road of travelers. Yamaha France also offers a better-equipped special series to further assert its touring attributes. The XTZ 1200 Limited Edition features a titanium Akrapovic muffler and Garmin Zumo 220 GPS. A number of aesthetic attributes are Yam France creations: the fairing sides, rear side covers and the specific set of stickers.
The Yamaha XTZ 1200 Super Ténéré Limited Edition is available in two colors: Black Factory and Blue Factory. The latter also comes with a driver and passenger seat cover.

I can't part with it.

Jackol Model 2011

Purchased new in March 2011, it has just passed the 80,000 km mark. It has taken us all over France and is a great ride. Apart from the rear wheel spokes, which gave me trouble at first, I have little to complain about. I'm looking for a replacement, but I'm finding it hard to part with it. 01/21/2026 12:59 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Jackol

La reine

Seb66 Model 2011

I bought it three years ago, and sometimes I think about changing it. I try it out, and every time I get back on my Super T, I say to myself, I'm fine. 60,000 km, and so far no problems 05/26/2025 16:57 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Seb66

ManuO Model 2011

2011 model bought in March 2023 with only 18,000 km. A little over a year later, it has 47,000 km. Daily use in all weathers, weekend outings, it's robust and reassuring despite its heavy weight. Excellent value for money. 04/26/2024 17:43 Rating : 5/5 Respond to ManuO

Une voyageuse

Moufette Model 2013

Bought second-hand, a bit heavy indeed, but surprisingly reassuring as soon as it's on the road
In town, despite its imposing size, it's easy to handle in traffic, which is a bleuffing good thing for such a beast (3 years old in Paris).
On the road, it's so comfortable you'll never know you're on it
The kind of bike that can take you to the ends of the earth and back
It's a pity Yamaha stopped manufacturing it, at least in France! 02/14/2023 23:42 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Moufette

Superbe et super moto !

Nono Model 2011

Bought used in 2016 with 54,000 km, it has 95,000 km at the end of 2020. I ride it every day, even in 0° weather. Very good road bike, it does the job off-road, in grass and ruts for a maxi trail bike. J'ai plus d'une GS parterre ou dans un arbre avec petokask ou gorando (wom experience 2019).changé bobines crayons a 70 000 km, distri a 83 000 et disque arr a 90 000 ! No elec problem !!!
The plastics don't move and the paint is very well made. My next bike will be the same! Bruno and 50 springs ... 12/19/2020 11:59 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Nono

Very good motorcycle, a little heavy but we can deal with it, however, the problem with the cruise control that works when it wants, and this since the beginning, has anyone ever had the same problem, thank you for answering me, jeanpierre.reiniche@sfr.fr 03/14/2019 11:44 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Hayabusa

manu Model 2010

I've been riding it for 15 days already, it's a 2011 model and it's a blast! Put it in sport mode, with TCS OFF, and it really kicks ass! In two words: Super bike! And what comfort! 10/10/2017 05:01 Rating : 5/5 Respond to manu

DENS Model 2012

Hi, I bought this bike new in 2011 and to date I've done 54,000 kms. I'm very satisfied
at 50000kms I've changed a part on the rear brake damper at a cost of 54 euros
I recommend a comfort saddle because after 40000kms the foam settles and the noise is not flattering
Apart from that, I'd buy this bike outright.
it's excellent for both touring and riding
Only happiness. 01/18/2017 17:57 Rating : 4/5 Respond to DENS

un trail routier au top

thierryg Model 2011

Perfect bike for trail riding. Once you've made the right adjustments, it can do it all. A bit heavy for off-road, unless you're big and strong! Engine more fun than a flat, and much less expensive... Just put an interlock on the gear restriction, which is useless...
2000 Kms a month with it, leisure or work, and nothing but pleasure, with Yam reliability (or Japanese reliability in general), unlike others, which I wouldn't recommend, unless it's absolutely necessary to have a certain logo on the tank... 03/06/2016 23:59 Rating : 5/5 Respond to thierryg

ROULE TOUJOURS Model 2010

Good for fetching bread or going to the market on Sundays ....but no comparison with a fully equipped adventure (2X more expensive ..there's a reason)

... taking the bike for the bread!? ... no, the Super T is good in every way, it's the average of the best. That's what you'd expect from a maxi-trailer. 12/19/2020 12:12 Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation

Super XTZ 1200

Casey 27 Model 2013

This machine comes in behind a 2010 R1200GS... What a surprise to come back to Japanese bikes, the top ... in so many ways.
Legendary reliability, incredible comfort, a true box-engine with powerful engine braking and torque to spare, and proto handling.
For me, the areas for improvement are fuel consumption and lighting.
The strong point is that it's the only motorcycle in the world that protects its rider's health:
No electromagnetic radiation, because all the electronics are located at the front right, so 0 volts/meters at saddle level. A jewel... and very little vibration.
I'm very satisfied with this truly exceptional machine 06/23/2015 09:39 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Casey 27

super bike fuel consumption comfort power handling but, there's a but, as soon as you go below 20 km/h, whether it's hot or not, it gets hotter and the fan goes off all the time, yo-yoing between 100° and 105° all the time, Yamaha needs to take care of the problem. 06/24/2014 18:52 Rating : 4/5 Respond to YVAN

franck nounours Model 2012

After my TDM 900, I've just fallen for this 1200, it's really top-notch, super comfortable for both me and my passenger, I've had it for 2 weeks and 800km now and have no regrets, for the moment I'm staying in T mode with the traction control on full blast, all in smoothness. 05/08/2014 20:26 Rating : 5/5 Respond to franck nounours

Super moto

JJandb95 Model 2013

Very happy with my XTZ 1200. Very nice bike, equipped with suitcases and top case luggage in every corner, we left for 13 days in Corsica (from Taverny). 3.150 kms. No fatigue, a reasonable 5.4l/100 ... my passenger is happy with my new bike.
The only thing that annoys me is the fan, which goes off too often when it's a bit hot.
True, the gear indicator is missing.
As for the rest, it's all good stuff.

22000KMS No problem.
A very good bike for long-distance duo trips.
Its lack of engine character is more than made up for by its road-going qualities.
the horsepower isn't demonstrative, but it's there, and this bike can be appreciated over long distances. 03/16/2013 22:40 Rating : 4/5 Respond to jean

I've just signed the order form, black, GIVI equipment, GPS. I hope I've made the right choice, having had a love affair with my good old Diversion 900, which never played any dirty tricks on me. I hope to continue with the 1200. 03/23/2013 22:20 Rating : 4/5 Participate in the conversation

genesis Model 2011

Hello
my opinion after 6 months of driving
bought in january 2012( model 2011) used 7500 km.
I drove 12500 km with it:
The face, I like it, flattering.
A little heavy but not too high (I'm 1m86), comfortable even for two, not bad protection
engine: sluggish, my biggest regret
but you get used to it.
Don't ride it even lightly, it's not its thing.
Long, busy rides, yes
but excessive fuel consumption
2equipped with SW Motec, you can take your gear with you!
i did the whole of the Isle of Man and Italy, no problems or breakdowns, just a crash at the stop, my fault
good bike, lacks a bit of feel 07/26/2012 19:43 Rating : 3/5 Respond to genesis

JPO Model 2010

Hello
After owning multiple XT Ténéré 600 CC used in Africa and the Sahara, I switched to a BMW 1200 GS and ended up with a BMW 1200 GS Adventure with a 32 l fuel tank (not 36 korrygan) with which I rode on Moroccan tracks and trails that were not always well-built but dry; it's royal despite the weight and very amazing provided you know a bit about TT riding techniques, but not comparable to my 450 KTM enduro
It seems to me that Yamaha has not done a bad job in terms of overall design and reliability, no doubt at a rather reasonable price; less attractive than a Ducati 1200 Multistrada, no doubt, but for long-distance riding, it's worth a look, or at least a try, despite the minor shortcomings mentioned by korrygan. 04/21/2010 06:59 Rating : 5/5 Respond to JPO

scourmoun Model 2010

Hello everyone, I think it's beautiful and it's true that the advertised weight of 261 kg seems enormous to me, but to answer Korrygan, if you hold a skewer stick by the center, it's easy to tilt it, but if you stick a potato on the top, it becomes difficult to raise it, but if you add another potato on the bottom, everything becomes almost normal again. So the pea is not a big defect if it's well balanced... All I hope is that it mounts a strong enough alternator and battery to be able to ride when it's cold because on the 2 gs (a 1994 and a 2004) that I've owned this was a recurrent problem... In any case I need one (an XT1200Z of course)... 02/27/2010 14:12 Rating : 5/5 Respond to scourmoun

korrygan Model 2010

Well, yamaha has given birth to a mouse! for a trail adventurer, a 23-liter tank is pitiful! you can't even do 400km, where do you fill up in the desert? are you calling yamaha? 80s-style checkered blue, even worse in white. a weight of 261kg with full tanks is nonsense! the gs1200 adventure is rated at 256kg with a real 36L tank. this super tenere was supposed to have a contained weight! it's going to be the Varadero's clumsy sister! wake up, japanese people! the gs, ktm, multistrada, stelvio and tiger triumph are kicking your asses. on this tenere, the pot is the ugliest ever! the aluminum panniers are ridiculously small, especially the one on the left with the pot contour. the only positive point is the standard seat height of 84.5 and the low seat height of 81.5. i'm going to have to go broke to buy a gs1200 adv, which has no serious competition. they've got to be kidding at bmw. the basic gs1200 weighs 40kg less and at least it looks good. the vstrom is 1000 times nicer than this super tenere! i'm super disappointed !!!! yamaha you're a bunch of jokers!!! 02/25/2010 00:11 Rating : 5/5 Respond to korrygan
