Sounds like a good plan to me.

Yep, I can see absolutely no down side to this idea!

So I stopped worrying and lo and behold, things did get worse!

Why does this 900 concept give me a hard on, when the 1200 doesn'tDirtybrit wrote:[youtube]g1abnuD384M[/youtube]

It's easy to forget you have a perfectly good 750 motor there Charlie.
What's it going to be?

Re: South African rebuild of a XTZ 750
I found the write up for the 900 tenere vid I posted
http://www.super-tenere.net/forum/xtz75 ... 677-xtz900
It's not a straight engine swap at all
Probably easier to tenerize a TDM (Looks like the designer for the bike in Dirtybrits concept vid used a TDM frame
)

Re: South African rebuild of a XTZ 750
I had a chat with the sales fella at my local Yamaha dealer last week. He said the we here in sunny SA will probably get the new XTZ 900 in feb/march next year. As to whether or not this will come to pass i have no idea, but it gives me a little bit of time to come up with some kind of excuse for the wife when she sees it parked in the garage 
the adventure version with crash bars, spot lights etc etc
or in black if you prefer
And last but not least the chesterfield

Re: South African rebuild of a XTZ 750
I'm sorry to say that, but the XTZ900 (or similar) does and will not exist.
This images are just a great dream for all Tenere fans.

WHAT?????????why, that lying son of a bitch....
Oh well, I will just have to make do with my current S10. Would have been a nice addition though
The new 1200 Super Tenere just doesnt do it for me i have to admit. It just doesnt have that rough edge look to it. And to stick that enormous oil filter on the outside of the motor??? who was the bright spark behind that dumb ass idea i wonder??
