Motorcycle specifications YamahaXTZ 1200 Worldcrosser 2012 Out of the sand

purpose or appearance? Whatever the case, the Yamaha 1200 Super Ténéré is looking for adventure under its big trail bike exterior. With its tendency to travel on asphalt and not really enduro, the Super T satisfies the rider and the dreamer, but it aspires to more. And so the idea of the World Crosser was born: a prototype with a more marked tendency, which is now arriving on the market.

from the 1200 XTZ to the WorldCrosser, the engine and chassis are identical. It's the equipment and more protective profile that make the difference.
On this machine, the fairing sides are in carbon, as are a set of frame and fork protectors. The rear brake, chassis and driveshaft gain protective plates in black anodized aluminum. A deco kit underlines the Worlcrosser's more reckless side. But to complete the package, a detour to the options section will be necessary to add the additional headlights and teat tires, plus the Akrapovic muffler visible in the photos.

will this Worldcrosser challenge the R 1200 GS Adventure or Touratech preparations? No, not really. It proposes to go a little further into the rocks on the detours of long-distance rides. But the form is there: take a good look at it, and dare to say you don't feel like cracking a bit of road on the Atlas side?!
