The Dakar Bike Yamaha Couldn’t Build for a Decade! - Yamaha Super Tenere
The Yamaha XTZ750 managed to save Yamaha from a 10 year draught, one where the Dakar title was slipping further and further away. And since getting Stephane Peterhansel on board, the pairing managed to clinch the title... And never let it go!

The War in Ukraine, not a conflict.
I mean they have dual motor e bikes now that can do 50+ mph pretty much awd and some are dirt bikes some are road bikes some are inbetween
Hahhaa the dog at the end 😂
Just got mine in 2025 !!
Husqvarna dominated enduros in New England until they were sold to Cagiva. The dealers couldn't get parts and people switched to KTM. I loved my '84 WR400
"a thumping 2 stroke"? I thought thumpers were 4 strokes
格好いい。良いですね。
ホンダアフリカツイン良いですね。
良いですね。
another great video! thx mate i had a husky te 449, good bike! insane sound and powerful AF.
I live in the uk and ride to and from work all year round. When it’s heavy wind and rain it’s not much fun or ice on the road, but I will say that when a nice dry day comes along I realise how much I have improved as a rider because of my cold/wet weather riding. It’s all about adjusting your riding accordingly to the given conditions. Yea it’s more risky and you need to decide if you should do it as it’s your life and your responsibility. Ride safe guy’s
No but i remember when ktm did..
Why was anyone expecting anything all that different? It was obvious from the very beginning of spy shots that it was a reworked 890. The OG Norden is more comfy on road and worse in the dirt than the KTM. That suits lots of people really well.
Perfect bike, 1300 km so far, really excellent 😊
have to say i had a te310 and it goes hard had to sell as its to hard to get parts for otherwise id still have it
Beautifully crafted video
Great video. Kudos
It's not the first time regulations suck, instead of 2cyl, 1000cc bikes of 130hp or even more to be the Dakar icons the 1cyl, 450cc of no more than 65hp became the ones, no more fun, trucks are more fun to watch
I 💙 your bLU cRU history!
12:31 reason for BMW to get "...out of it as quickly as possible..." had to do with current politics to the time too. More and more Motocross and Race Tracks where closed due to new strickt regulations and a missing lobby for sports-riders in Germany. And Germany was and is the best market for BMW motorrad. Fun fact: if one where brother in Hells Angels business you had big influence in politics but not much interesst in motocross. It's a well known tragedy.
Did Yamaha or KTM take any 2-strokes to Dakar? Because both of them have enough of a backbone and competency to still produce them.
5:51 Husqvarna is aswell a Name of a town in Sweden.
I never saw a Maico in Canada. I read a lot of good things about their forks and handling. In the 1980's and '90's we had KTM's, but not even much Husky until Cagiva took over.
Thanks!
Thanks. A really nice document giving some topic to the coffee table conversations since, me and friends are riding offroad. This concept has been of interest every now and then.
If i didn't ride my DR-Z400 that is awesome, I would buy XT600. I love Yamahas, especially old ones.
After watching a few your videos this particular one convinced me to subscribe. Nice job.
Milions of chainsaws and leaf blowers carry on and my 501 Maico sings songs weekly.
yet now the 450GS is on the way, though with much less of an identity crisis.
I have HERO bike... my father have HERO bike and I also own a HERO bike ❤ Indian love HERO bike
Ot Pi was my world champion
I remember trying to buy one of those back in the day. I forgot about it until now. Thanks
I would love this on a 250 or a 450
ITS """MAKE KO"""! IN THE USA. THANK YOU.
Oh how well this aged
Very nicely made video. Congrats
I'm no KTM fan boy, but I hate that they can't figure out the business side of things. They are the only people who put development into 2 strokes when everyone just about abandoned the platform. They were putting out nice bikes, albeit not always the most reliable ones.
I definitely won't watch another video of yours😢 you would probably shit on Husaberg, the best bikes ever built 😅 really respected you before this 😢😢
Really? You think a 450 was not enough? The Dakar limited engine size to 450 over a decade ago 😢 really respected your channel till you said this
Well obviously the clutch needs an upgrade, my much more powerful Husaberg 650 has no problem with the clutch, which proves its possible since I have the most powerful single cylinder bike ever produced 😅 and if anyone says otherwise I will race them😅 but my Husaberg is also one of lightest open class bikes @ 112kg😅put that in your pipe and smoke it idiots
How can the crank rotating backwards affect handling? I am an engineer and this utter bullshit
i loved the shots you took of you riding and very informative and at some times funny with the storm section. loved it thanks
Legendary! Thanks for telling this story
The best bike! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Still got my HP2, its been sitting under a tarp for 5 years doing nothing! It needs rescuing, if you're interested in it, message me! ✌️
