Yamaha Super Tenere

Oh, PLEASE tell me this bike will be brought to the States ... 1200cc parallel twin, shaft drive, ABS. Another direct competitor for the R1200GS's throne ... but you know Yamaha is going to do it right.

This is a concept revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show. Yeah, it's just a lot of chrome wrapped in cloth (resembling the Dakar Rally logo, if you ask me), but you can imagine Yamaha's existing Tenere 660 growing up to be something to rival the GS, something just barely hidden by that clever wrapping.

::lustful sigh::

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

Here's Yamaha's website for the concept: Super Tenere, the Lord of Yamaha Adventures.
