Unhappy NEW Yamaha Super Ténéré 1200 specs

Hi everyone, I have been looking forward to see what Yamaha could come up with with this new S.T. I have previously owned a XTZ750 and a 3aj 600 Ténéré. And I currently have two 1vj:s in my garage.

I´m sad to say that the specs disappointed me a bit,
5kgs heavier than the R1200GS adventure but with 10liters less fuel,
liquid cooling and the assymetrical design doesn`t work for me either.

I think I´ll stick with my 1vj for a while...

260 kg... With the tank full= 23 liters. Bmw gs1200 standard dry weight 238. Bmw gs adventure dry weight 260 ... I suggest that you try both. Yamaha feels much lighter as center weight is in a much lower position
