The year 2023 is many things, and high up on the list is the 40th anniversary of the original Yamaha Ténéré. Beginning with the 1983 Yamaha XT600Z, it’s difficult to say whether Yamaha engineers of the time knew what the future would bring when they were putting that first bike together. Still, the fact that the Ténéré line is still going strong decades later has to feel like something special to those involved.
In celebration of this momentous occasion, Yamaha Europe is bringing a full 40th anniversary Ténéré tour to locations across Europe throughout the summer 2023 season. From historic Ténéré production machines to actual classic Dakar race bikes, there will be plenty to see and do at these stops for fans, casual onlookers, and everyone in between.
